Hmmm, so if the car with MBC set on 1 bar goes like it has before or even worse that means someone has fiddled with the ECU!?

I hate when I don't know everything... It's first owner's car and nobody ever touched the ECU! Puzzled...

Thanks for all info!

SO how does then VF12 compares with TD04 or similar. I know it's bigger but does anyone knows what are flow rates etc.

Also what should be the case of heat soak on intercooler with legacy's chargercooler; i presume none, just more stable and efficient (and heavier and more expensive!?).

Cheers

Thanks

How does the VF12 compare to TD04/5's etc and the more common VF series on STI imprezas?

ktomass

Sorry don't know the answer but I'm interested to know what boost single turbo legacy was running as standard.

Weird, cos mine arrived with a TD05 on it. Something to do with being last of the line, maybe?

How can you tell which model turbo you have then?

ktomass

Hmmm, mine is MY92 Wagon (EU spec) and it has IHI RHB5something.

Reg,

That will be a VF8 or VF12 then.

roodog

the aust liberty had vf12, jap imports had vf8 or 10 depending on manual or auto vf12 is just a bit smaller than a tdo5, a tdo4 is about the same size as a vf10

UkLegacyT

standard legacy runs about 9 psi i was told, but not sure 100%

the IHI RB5 or whatever, is the VF12.

turbo_steve...you say yours poss had a TD05 as it was last in the line, what year is yours?
mine is April 96 on an N-reg, one of the very last, and it came with the VF12

ian

UkLegacyT

sorry, second thoughts, think its 0.8bar standard, so just over 11psi.

No idea why mine had a TD05. Am GUESSIING it is because it was the absoloute end-of-line 94 registered car. Was certainly surprised when I took it off to put a TD05 on and found I already had one!!!

Standard mine seemed to surge upto one bar and then settle to 0.8Bar.

Turbo_Steve

The Mitsubishi Turbos (TDO5 & TD04) have their model number written on them. Not sure about the IHIs.

Just wish I could solve my boost creep issues. Hmm.

ktomass

SO do we have someone who knows something about turbos TD05/04, VF12 etc.?

I found out that ECU is standard, overboost function active for about 20 sec on full throttle is at 1bar, and then settles at 0,8bar. That makes sense why the car doesn't seem any faster with MBC; because it's not! It just picks up boost a bit faster and throttle response is a bit better.
