I have drove one in a 90 and didnt think much of it
 Best off sticking with a nice recon 300tdi engine bits are alot easier and cheaper to get hold of aswell as theres quite a few differences on parts  CSK Automotive

Second what Chris says.....
I had this same dilemma when I rebuilt my Defender 2 years ago. In the end decided to go with 300Tdi, but I got a Turners recom unit with one of their P&P heads. A VGT turbo from Bell Auto Services, Twisted Intercooler, then tuned the injection pump. Really pleased with it as I feel I have all the benfits of a standard 300tdi for parts and servicing and reliability, but a lot more grunt. |

On paper the 2.8 has 135bhp / 277 ft lb of torque,which I guess is probably down to the variable vane turbo more the capacity!
Alex 1976 I guess your tweaked 300 has more go? Working towards Carry on camping! |

Never had it on a dyno but I reckon I am running about the same as a TGV. The VGT makes a huge difference as you get the turbo and torque kicking in so low and then sucj a flat power curve right through the revs. Pulls like the proverbial train.

i run two TGVs from M&D and love them both, far better than any Tdi in my experience. will chirp 33" tyres on an auto pulling away and the change up to 2nd if you boot it with the kickdown set for a harsh change.
the other TGV runs 37" fedimas through an auto. torque in std is the same as my td5 JE Eng stage 1 remap used to be! most parts that are likley to fail are same as 300tdi. exception driver belt and alt. Cheers James 110 XS Utility 130 Puma Station wagon/camper (in the making) 90 Puma Hardtop |

JST - Have you tuned your TGV's or do you run them in standard tune?

Ok, So modified Tgv's look impressive and likewise tuned 300s too .....
but has any one built a stroked 300tdi using Tgv crank, pistons and rods? Such a kit is available  Working towards Carry on camping! |

i'd be more tempted to buy a 2nd hand TGV first - there was one on D44 forum not so long ago Cheers

Anyone know whether they still make the 2.8 TGV, looking at their website they only have a MaxxForce 2.8H listed:
