Engines and Turbos: Which ones?

    I am starting to seriously think about upgrading the engine in my 205.
    I want a Diesel in this car (will be getting a 1.6GTi soon to get used
    to a petrol before I get an Mi16) but was wondering which I should
    get. I’m tempted to stick with the XUD7T for simplicity but was
    wondering if any of the 1.9s would be a good idea? Or even the larger
    diesels such as the 2.5?
    If I got one of these could I change the turbo for a better quality
    one without cooking stuff?

    I will of course be changing the brakes, suspension, driveshafts etc.
    and the gearboxes if needed (or I should say I’ll get a mechanic to do
    it for me) :D

    Cheers

    i've seen a 205 GTI1.9 fitted with a XUD9TE and being tuned to a mere
    160BHP afik its a more or less straight swap, apart from the
    electrics i'd say but sure pug does not invent the wheel twice so
    there should be many cross connections in the car

    Cheers, probably not gonna do it for a while, got lots to upgrade on
    the car first.

    I’ll use the money I save in the mean time to insure myself on the GTi
    I’m gonna buy, and get driving lessons for my girlfriend so I don’t
    have to drive her everywhere :lol:

    p.s. anyone got a Peugeot running on biodiesel?

    very doable with an non turbo diesel like the xud 7 and 9
    merely doable with the TE versions
    wont risk my tuned HDi for it though
