I've got an My99 UK Turbo. It's got a 3"Scorpion full system, K&N and I'm just about to fit an FMIC. I'm buying an ECU with a TEk3 licence so a mapping session will soon be on the cards but I'd like to get a bigger turbo on the case.
It currently makes 261bhp @1.2bar with a top mount and the standard TD04 seems to pull really well. Not laggy at all and seems to pull right through to the red line.
Question is, What turbo should I be looking at getting?

I want to keep the low lag and good bottom end torque but would like a bit more blow!

Answers on a postcard please!

 

I dont have a postcard, but you should be looking at a td05.
probably stick with the std. 16g version.
about £180 - £200 2nd hand theres tons of them about.

a tried and trusted method if ever there was one

 

Just out of interest, what bhp can the td05 make? with the right mods of course

 

I've seen them make over 370bhp on a fully modified car but 330bhp is a more common figure when mapped with supporting mods and running Optimax.

with a sti5 tmic and a green cotton filter, fuel pump and (dreaded) FSE regulator, Mr Forrest above eeked 331bhp out of my td05 at powerstation.

not a particularly sorted motor either, all DIY'd

 

i have a Td05 that i would sell for 200 but since i think i have only one of the pipes you can have it for 180

 

I have literally just fitted a TDO5 and secondhand tek 3 ecu....on my my00, seems to be far less laggy than i thought it would be, but maybe thats down to the mapping, i'm gonna see how it runs with the ecu as is, but might get it tweaked at some point to see all the real benefits...

 

I made 325 BHP on my TD05 16 (supplied by Andy F) on a bugeye with a STi Top mount

I just wonder who's going to map it for you ?? AFAIK you have the licence for ECU but only the original mapper can "see" the map as it stands. Another EcuTeK mapper won't have a licence issue but will have to spend a shed load of time "starting from scratch".

maybe an EcuTeK mapper can step in to help here......

Midlife.....

Correct

 

Hi Andy..... 4 minutes to reply LOL

Buzzard - What pipes? The oil feed and return?

I'm trying to get that info from the guy I'm buying it from.

I'd love Mr F to map it but as I'm just outside Exeter, I don't spose he gets down here all that often.
And I can't afford to drive it to Scotland.
The ECU is coming from a local fella so I'd assume that the mappers local.

How much longer would it take to map it from scratch Andy?

 

hi joe,
i'll have to check for you but in hindsight i think its just the oil feed thats missing. its in the lockup 12miles away so if your interested let me know and i'll go over and check.

 

Order of preference
VF35 small exhaust housing spools really quick, 330 ish max realistically,from new age STi 2003/2004 before twin scrolls came along
VF34 slightly bigger exhaust housing, spools a little later than previous, roller bearing, slightly more top end power 330+
TD05 laggiest of the three, biggest exhaust housing of the three but certainly capable of enough power to break your gearbox

ECUTEK in the south, Bob Rawle or Pavlo

 

hmmmm.
OK Buzzard.

Have a look please. I think I can get oil pipes made up.. I'll have to check...

Thanks Conrad. I'll have a looksie around.

 

HI I HAVE A 99T,AND HAVE HAD A VF28 IHI TURBO JUST FITTED TO MY CAR,
IT IS GOOD FOR 28psi IT COST £750.AND FITS RIGHT ON.
OR YOU COULD WAIT A MONTH, BECAUSE GARRETT ARE GOING TO RELEASE
DIRECT REPLACEMENTS TURBOS FOR CLASSIC SUBARU.

 

I want a cheap secondhand one.... I'm poor!

 

HERES SOME NUMBERS WHO WILL BE ABLE, TO HELP YOU ON SECONDHAND TURBOS,
API ON 01926 614333.
GRADE A BREAKERS 01663 744114,
OR YOU GET A FEW ON E-BAY
HOPE IT HELPS.

 

Whats all this 'Garrett are goping to...' explain this - do you have any www links ?

 

I RANG OWEN DEVELOPMENTS A MONTH AGO, TO SEE ABOUT A GARRETT TURBO,THEY TOLD ME, THEY WERE MAKING A DIRECT REPLACEMENT FOR THE SUBARU,IT SHOULD BE NEARLY READY,THE NUMBER IS 01865 821076.

 

you could get an mdxxx if you wanted to put a garrett in the stock location, albeit on an IHI exhaust housing I believe.

a good mate has just put a gt30 based garrett on his built motor

 

joeknt

only the oil feed is missing. other three are there but no banjos. ones from your own turbo fit?

 

Sorry to jump on but this thread might answer my question..

I have a my98 uk turbo and would like more bhp would the td05 with a full decat exhaust system get me near 300bhp??.

Dan

300 posts!! yea baby lol

 

IIRC closest mapper to exeter is a choice of 2 in bristol or BRD,bob rawle in swindon. im in torquay and always go to bob

 

Cheers Dazza.

Have sent BRD an email. It's £395+VAT to remap once you've got the licence!!

Might have to give that a miss....
