hi desertstorm, thanks for taking interest in my post, my car is a 2007 and engine code is ASB. thanks
Hi Chris, unfortunately with the older V6 3.0 TDI such as the ASB you have a KKK BV50 turbo. These are not that great and it's difficult to upgrade them. Also if your car is an auto the gearboxes are not that great either I believe.
@bobby singh knows more about these than me as he has had dealings with them.

I'll be tuning a early 3.0 V6 which had a BV50 unit very soon. It now has a darkside replacement so we'll see what it can do if successful it could be the unit to use. However, its a expensive unit and I'm in talks with my turbo supplier to see if something special can be done.
A few years ago I had a 2260vk working but got stuck at the IMMO stage so didn't continue. I think this should be totally fine to do with the new tools i have now (untested).
With a BV50 unit I can get you close to 300hp / 700nm, but for 400hp you need a bigger frame unit or someone who can built a decent hybrid.]
Cheers

Sure is - the expense doesn't stop there as the injectors on the early V6's are useless for high power. But for the injectors I have a solution
Any update on this subject? How did the darkside turbo perform?
I’d be an interested party on swaping the bv50 on my b7, especially if it has an earlier spool than the the kkk..
Hey guys, sorry to jump on this thread, I have a 2005 v6 avant 3.0 V6 Quattro.
I just paid £2500 for all the injectors and a high pressure fuel pump.. it’s been remapped and I want to do just a little bit more... any suggestions guys?

It is unfortunate that the standard turbo on these cars isn't great and limits any meaningful increase from the standard remap. Also upgrading it isn't easy or cheap . Whe remapped the car and what is it running at ?
Hey, Bobby, how did this Darkside Hybrid BV50 go? Do you know how the Darkside BV50 differs to the stock BV50?
I rather not say anything on a public forum but I had to rework this unit for it to be successful. However, as I mentioned many times to you now, my garrat vk hybrid converted to run on a bv50 car is the best solution and works perfectly.
yea I understand Bobby, i'm just trying to get more understanding of all options.
I'm an engineer, I like to understand things.
I appreciate your time and input for me though!
Rather than writing your questions across multiple threads its easier if you just drop me an email - BobbySinghRacing@outlook.com
