TD05 inlet??????????????
 

Hi everyone!!

My V2 STI currently has a TDo5 (i think 16g) on it at the mo, and as Simon from JGM is coming out on the 29th to map my car (after adding FPR and 505cc injectors) and i was debating on also changing to a TDo5 18g???


The question i have is am i right in thinking that with my car being a 96 the inlet on the turbo is different to the same turbo from 97+ ??????
Is there anyway to change this if i bought a tdo5 from a 97+ scooby???

Forgive me if i sound stupid bt i have limitd knowledge on such things! :wonder:


Many thanks
Andy

Your turbo will have a 90 degree bend on it where as the later ones have a straight inlet. It is possible to fit the later ones though.

Hi Andy,

What are your supporting mods?

TD05-16g well capable of low to mid 300s and 11s 1/4mile. The step from a 16g to a 18g is not worth it imho.

not really looking to go over 350ish (currently at just over 300) because i am told thats when i would have to start considering upping my gearbox and i dont have a spare 2grand at the mo!!! :D


what does anyone think here??????????????????????

The 16g is more than capable and if you want a step up from that consider something bigger than a 18g.

Had the same consideration myself re the 16g vs 18g and stuck with the 16g.

16g at around 1.5bar makes it a absolute stormer and will be on the limits of the box anyhow.

ok mate, thank you for all the info everyone too (bob'5/g7prs)

looks like im decided anyway so maybe i just stick with the 16 untill i can get a new box???

thanks everyone

In stock form the TD05 16G has a 90 degree entry and is a 340-350 potential turbo. It can be made front entry by swapping the cover or modifying the 90 degree cover.
The TD05 18G is front entry only and typically 360 bhp potential, perhaps a bit more.

cheers harvey!
so basically as i wasnt really looking to go over 350ish neway atm (prolong gearbox life) - the 16g should do the job neway then right???

The TD05 for your car has a 90 degree entry and is fine for what you need.

Do you mean 505 injectors or 550cc???

11s quarter on a TD05? really?

hey guys!
yes harvey i originally bought the injectors thinking they were 550s too! but after being checked at hypertech@ falkirk they were reading 505s on their new machine!!! He even said himself hed never heard of them before??? :wonder:

although speaking to someone else they said that it depends on wether they were tested at 3bar or 3.5 or something????? (forgive me, very limited knowledge on this sorry!)

But i guess either way - 505cc sure gotta be better than the standard 380s right!! :thumb:
