Would replacing my current turbo with one from a larger engined car be benifical or not. I have a Kia Rio 1.5 crdi, its a Hyundai engine I believe. I'm hoping other kias or hyundai's will offer a good replacement.
I can't say more about it but i would like to say some engine can replace in a good way which give good response than older engine. That is not truth for all engines.
A larger turbo will increase top end power But will reduce response at low revs.and you will almost certainly need a remap or retune of the cars computer
FWIW I have a GT3582 on my 2.3 and it does not get to 17 psi till app 5500rpm but it will light up the tyres in 2nd at those revs.
It would be more responsive with a smaller turbo say a GT3071/76
