can any1tell me what max boost and bhp you can get from standard turbo.

Standard turbo is a TD04

Probably not worth running much over 1.3Bar midrange to 1.2Bar topend

Good for around 280ish hp max

 

Why run a 10p turbo on a 2.1 forged bottom end? Complete waste of the bottom end, get something on there that will 'use' it!

Concur with FB, expensive supporting mods will stretch a TD04L out to 300bhp, but that costs more than a decent turbo!

i have just bought engine and cannot afford bigger turbo as yet, just wanted to know what was safe for this turbo for time being.. turbo will be bought when funds allow.
cheers darren
any advise on turbo would be great. thanks

 

A TD05-20g with the right supporting mods makes for a fairly brisk 2.1 equipped road car - should be good for circa 400hp - What anciliary upgrades and cylinder heads are you using?

Avoid the cr@p ebay turbos though - get a standard 16g and have it overhauled and converted by a turbo specialist.

Alternatively any of the later VF series turbos will be good (VF34/35 etc) - fast spooling and offering mid 300's performance when setup correctly

 

i have a td05 16g that i bought for my 2002. Does any1 know any were in yorkshire were i can get it modified to fit?
