The 306 turbo diesel is becoming a popular car to modify. When coupled with our S163 hybrid it becomes an immensely torquey vehicle which can be both enjoyable and practical.

The S163 utilises the same T2 found in standard trim but is upgraded with a larger compressor wheel and housing to increase power capabilities. The blades on the turbine wheel are cut back to reduce tip resonation, a dangerous by-product found in high boost applications. A 360 degree thrust bearing is used to ensure efficiency under load over the standard 270 degree bearing. An uprated actuator means this unit can be adjusted between 12 and 18PSI maximum boost pressure. With mild engine and fuelling modifications, this turbo can support up to 125BHP with huge amounts of torque.
