Id look for a fit, straight inlet (ie modified from ninety degree standard) TD05, because the horsepower will come more easily with this turbocharger.

sell and set a standard evo 5 or 6

hi rick hows she going? not heard from you since you took her off my hands she is being sorely missed i can tell you lol have you not had it on rolling road yet? i take it you had a good drive home. have you put the sti suspension on then as it didnt have it when i did the deal with you? i will be watching with interest as you progress with the mods and hope you are enjoying her as much as i did. ps any news on that load carrier for the van?

Mate don't listen to most on here - they have no idea of what power can be got out of a TD04 - 280bhp is about the most you will get - 270 is around the average to be honest. The gear box will be fine - I have been runnning 280bhp for 6 years - no problems.

just get de cat down pipe, wrap the turbo, decent exhaust (fuel pump - to be safe) and remap.

Im running 340-350bhp and my gearbox went bang two weeks ago, it was deffently on the limit its been like that for a year, with about 7 1/4 mile runs they dont last long at that power :thumb:

cheers mate, this is the spec im gonna go for, for now,luckily a bloke i know rents a unit off my boss next door to my work(mrc tuning)(audi specialists) and they have just had a 4 wheel drive rolling road fitted so going to get it on there rollers in the next week to see wot bhp its producing now as standard then after ive done the mods so will post results and graphs up,will be interesting.

is a good idea to do that then take back to same RR to see the change - as they all vary a bit. Just get all the bits first the remap after to save cost of mapping again.

Just don't put any other filter in it except a panel and keep the original dump valve.

Post the figures when done mate - interested in how you get on.
