what turbo??????
 

im after a diffrent turbo for my wrx. currently running a tdo5 16g. i was thinking of a vf range turbo the vf34 roller bearing.i can get these new from usa for 900 dollars. what do you ppl think. i have seen the tdo5/o6 20g but it cost more than one of these. cant aford 900 pound for turbo

TD05 will produce more power than VF34 IMHO. What power are you looking for?

im looking for about 350+. my tdo5 has too much play in it. turbo technics want about 600 pound to recon the turbo or 600+vat for a new one. in the usa i can only fin d vf range turbos. they rate them quite good. i thought they would be better because they are roller bearing

Best bet would be to find yourself a secondhand TD05 or get your TD05 reconditioned, try Turbo Dynamics ;)

Dont forget it wont be just $900, there will be shipping, import duty and the lovely VAT to add ;)

You can get the TD05 recon'd for under £200 and it will match any VF on the market !

andy where can u get my tdo5 recond for 200?thanks for the advice lads.i will be keeping my tdo5,

turbo technics quote 150 for new seals and bearings.

I sent mine to turbo dynamics due to a bad review for turbo technics and aftre they checked it the quoted me 380, which was 450 odd after VAT (needed a new core).

When it came back it looked like a brand new turbo.

Assuming it has not actually failed and broken the turbine wheel or casing then it can be fully serviced with new bearings, seals and thrusts, ported to match your exhaust system (if upgraded ?) and returned to you within 3 days for no more than the price quoted above.

I'll PM you my workshop address.

lol ;) No more blatent than me :D

Maybe a stupid question, but what does TD stand for in TD05 etc etc ?

i have been advised to get a vf turbo for my 97 catalunya(td04???).nothing wrong with turbo in it but just wanting more power.would i be better with a td05 aswell??

Most likely!

Boost threshold will rise by about 500 rpm, and is not as sprightly as a TD04, but will give better torque and power once it gets going.
