hi all
i would like some advice on which turbo to replace my td04 with, i,ve been looking at vf28, vf35 or a td05 not looking for big bhp around 300-320 at the most, car is a uk my99 with full decat uprated fuel pump and k&n panel filter will have a tek3 once turbo is sorted


cheers bob

 

Bob,

The most popular turbo for those sort of power goals tends to be a FE-TD05,

There has been a few people with these fitted, so have a search and see what it all entails.

Bob

 

thanks bob

anyone else

 

I just fitted a VF24. Very pleased, lots more mid and top, some loss of bottom (below 3100) but not as much as with a TD05. VF 23 & 28 similar.

 

TD05 is a good move as Bob says and easy to fit but get it with water and oil pipes. 04 and 05 pipes look similar but are different. If your 04 is front entry then get a front entry 05. If it is a wagon with a TD 04 90 degree then go for a 90 deg 05 or better still, an FE05 with a 90 deg silicone elbow.
