Just bought a td05 for my 97 uk turbo 2000 when iv looked at the the tdo4 on my car I can only see 1 coolent pipe coming from header tank to turbo but on the td05 I can see 2 coolant pipes on top I'm fitting it in morning what do o need to change it please help

 

Who is remapping your car tomorrow and what ecu are you going to use? those would be the first 2 questions you need to ask before even attempting to fit a TD05, unless you want to blow your engine up that is?

Iv got a power fc I changing the turbo tomorrow just going to drive off boost or turn the boost down I have a apexi avcr already fitted I think jgm is comming out to fit ecu and map the car I need to get the turbo fitted before he does it

 

Just a little confusing ,is your td05 top entry or has it been converted to front entry,either way it should have a water inlet pipe on top and one at the bottom,maybe you are looking at the oil feed pipe ?



The 2 rusty looking pipes are your water inlet/outlet pipes,the shiny brass one is your oil return pipe ,can you post pics up as it should be a straight swap over

 

Mine is the same as that but had not got the shiny Pipe on bottom can I use the one off my td04 thanks

 

Will it be ok to fit it until I get a remap

 

Any one know

 

that pipe is the oil feed. if you havnt got that, the oil will flow over the back of the engine.

the one fromt the 04 may fit, but you deff need it before runing the car

 

one word "NO" only fit this and then drive it off boost to your remap

 

Yes ,you can use the one off the td04 it is a simple swap over.. if you do decide to drive the car before you get it remapped might be worth connecting a length of pipe /hose from the wastegate actuator to the turbo compressor housing,that way you not be running on full boost ,only wastegate pressure which will be quite safe till you get it remapped.

 

I have a apexi avcr fitted can I just turn the boost down on that

 

Yes mate ,if you turn the boost right down,and drive the car sensibly it should not cause you any problems till it can be safely remapped

 

wont a 97uk turbo require a aftermarket ecu to be mapped? unless u wait for this software to be released. god knows when though.

 

I think the op is having an aftermarket one fitted.

 

didt see that. cheers mate
