Hi Vekke, the turbo chargers sound great, however are you not concerned about your gearbox?
I have a 1.7SDI Seat Arosa and gearbox (085) failure is very very common in them.
Mine failed about 5000km after I bought it and it took me a while to locate a 2nd hand one which I then got refurbished before installing it back into my car.
This is with just 44kW though!
I was told by the gearbox company I used that the box is just the petrol box with different ratios and that it is not up to the job diesel engines. It is one of only 2 gearboxes in production that they do not refurbish - I got no guarantee with mine.
When mine fails again I'm considering installing a larger gearbox from a Golf or similar however this will involve custom mounts and some butchering of the chassis to make it fit!
Fionn.
