I understand your point, do the VNT turbos come made for the 200tdi or do modifications have to be made? I watched a video of a 200tdi with a VNT turbo and it sounded amazing and seemed to pull like a train, maybe no speed increase on the whole but acceleration seemed to be improved which would...

Thankyou that’s the answer I was looking for. I’ll have a look at those videos when I’m home from work. Thankyou much appreciated

Yeah I understand what you mean. I race 2 stroke motocross bikes so back pressure etc is something I understand pretty well. If I was to get a VNT turbo would a straight pipe be beneficial? My main question is weather to keep the back box or not?

Yeah I guess so. I’m torn between keeping or getting rid of the back box.

Yeah I’m looking into the VNT turbos and seriously considering it. Maybe a straight pipe is the way to go in that case. Does it affect the MOT at all?

Ah right. Seen YouTube videos with the turbo whistle sounding nice aswell as sound a bit more grunty if that makes sense. Might not be worth doing then.

Ah right I understand now. So just get a larger pipe straight through and remove the back box?

So i need to buy another back box? Surely keeping the original backbox on and just taking the centre silencer out should make a huge difference? So it would effectively be a straight pipe from the turbo back with just a rear back box. Or am i just being ridiculous in thinking this?

What do you mean by a larger diameter pipe? Im hoping to keep the rear silencer still on so surely ill have to keep the same diameter to allow it to connect to the backbox still or am i wrong? Or would i have to replace the whole lot and get rid of the backbox with a 3" pipe?

Hi all, I have recently bought a Defender 90 with a trusty 200tdi in good health. I’m thinking about straight piping it as I’ve watched videos on YouTube and the turbo sounds amazing with a straight pipe with just the rear silencer remaining. I also figure it will reduce back pressure so in...

Both exactly the same

Hi all, My dad and I cannot figure out why a 200tdi is more expensive to insure than TD5 considering it has more horsepower and is most of the time a higher value. Any explanation to this would be great. Cheers!

Hi all, Im interested in the difference between the 200tdi and the slightly newer 300tdi. Ive been told by my friends who own 200tdi's that they are better and more reliable due to 60 or so less components but louder than the 300tdi. What are peoples opinions on this and 200tdi or 300tdi? The...

I was considering the 110 but where I live parking is a major issue as the spots are so small and tight car parks are a nightmare! I live a fair way from the nearest major village of city as I’m a country lad but a 110 would just be to big for my area sadly hence why the 90 would suit me down to...

Yeah that is true! I just hope they ont increase the prices by the time i come to it!

Now that is going to be hard! I think ill be alright at the practical but the theory i think ill struggle as disexia is a bitch :)

when i say 'most of my life' i mean since i was about 7 years old lol :)

Passed. Ill be learning in my grandads ford fiesta as he will be away for 4 months right around the time ill be learning. Ive been driving most of my life, tractors, land rovers and anything else really on private land so i dont think it should be much problem.

Yeah that is understandable. I guess we will see

Also i know your the man of 'wisdom' as the case may be, we have got a quote from the NFU for £1870 but the Co Op insurance is £1750, are they any good. the co op that is?
