What are people running? I have an sc36. So a tdo5 variant, but have the opportunity to change (melted engine!) and was half thinking a td04 given rev limits and want a less flash turbo as will be running als so will prob kill a few

Views ?

 

Soz mate wot age/engine is this cheers

 

It's a gc8 2l and will be a forged motor when built.

 

For a rally car ? My old classic clubman Gp A car had a VF34 with a 34mm restrictor , lasted ages even with anti lag

 

Ian- it's grant in jersey- have heard vf34 before is that what people run? Melted engine on second day of jersey so that's being replaced too!

 

We run a td04 but most run a vf35 or 34

 

I was thinking a td04 would be good for spool?

 

VF34 is far superior to the 35 and TD range IMO........

 

VF 34 in good nick would seem to be the winner

 

ours kicks in at about 2400rpm to 5000rpm very little lag

 

VF24 was always a popular choice of turbo for the Grp N cars, quick spool with the P18 exhaust housing.

i have a vf35 vwith 34mm restrictor for sale ???

 

Well the car is nearly done, and went for a 34- bob is going to map the new engine for als and launch control and then go!

Question- did you run dump valves or no?

 

Forget the VF series mate...they are prone to failure and have a weak spot which is by the wastegate (prone to cracking) ...I've seen enough of them let go! Get yourself a decent TD series Turbo mate they will give you good power and response if its mapped good.

 

if your running a/l or l/c no dv and servo will need deleting as well
the waste gate will dump pressure

 

VF34 is probably THE best single scroll restricted turbo
