Not got any photos yet as I'm waiting to finish my bits on it .. hopefully be ready for tunnel run this weekend ..

Anyway, its running 305bhp and I'm finding it a bit less fun that my previous one.. the bigger turbo takes more effort to wake up (as expected) but I just don't have any low down power .. its really annoying having to boot it to get the power down .. ok when it comes it pulls like a train..

Any tips or suggestions ?

 

set of harveys headers should improve the spool up time a bit.

 

what turbo are you running ?

at 305bhp it should'nt be too laggy

 

yeah agreed.. lag should be minimum...

 

If your running a vf series like a 24 or a 28 it should still be quite good low down.

"Turbo Technics hybrid turbo"

 

what power is the turbo rated to ?

if it's higher power then it producer greater lag but hold boost better

might be a case of the turbo is too big for the 2ltr engine ie same as if you fit a 20g

 

haven't a clue .. just bought the car with it on ..

 

i'd try and get a part number off it and do a bit of research, might be worth changing it to a vf35/vf34 or similar for quicker spool and a bit more power than the td04

 

would I need to map it again then ?

 

yes mate it would need mapping again

think if you already have a mapped ecutek ecu then only cost £150

so if you identify the turbo you have you may find you could source a vf35 and have it mapped for the same valuse as the one you have is worth
