turbo upgrade options? newage
alright, ive got de catted and mapped newage wrx wagon and im thinking of getting turbo and injectors done.:-)
What is best for me? Td05 or vf35. I live in london so needs good pick up over top end i suppose.ive seen loads of td05 on ebay with toyo sports selling supposedly new ones for 218? And some for 500 and some 2nd hand for 120. There are only a couple of vf35 which tells me maybe they are the more sought after turbo. Let me know what you think or know. :-) |
i would go for a andy forrest hybrid td04,should make a little over 300bhp but will spool like a scalded dog :)
or one of his td05 16g stay away from cheap toyo versions matey http://www.andyforrestperformance.co.uk/16307.html |
VF35 would be a nice upgrade for a WRX,they are a quite popular upgrade though for the REX but there are plenty out there the VF34 is the rarer out of the two.SJ.

Agreed about the AF TD04 I read his project thread in a magazine when he was first developing it and it made good numbers for a TD04 with immediate response.SJ.

Braveheart STI on here does a billet TD04 for £380 that will make 320/330bhp and spools like a stabbed rat.;)
I'll be going with Billet Hybred TD04 similar to that but of my own creation.:thumb: Spool is king.;) |
Wanted to go 2nd hand really to keep the price down. Am i likely to get any of those andy forrest turbos 2nd hand?
I havent looked yet. :-) |

I havent looked yet. :-) they can be picked up for around £125 and it should cost you about £40 to have it converted,failing that go for a vf35 (£275 ish) |

Td05s on ebay,some say top entry so is that the same as front entry?
|
Yeah proberly it's like a metal scoop that is on the compressor side of the turbo,then you have your short inlet pipe with filter connected to that.SJ.
|
Top entry is what is says "top entry" it has a 90' sweeping bend which needs to be removed to make it front entry, if you look at your current turbo your inlet pipe runs under the inlet and straight on to the turbo "front entry", on the classics the pipe comes up before the inlet and runs down the bay iirc.
Top entry http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps431127ac.jpg Front entry http://i1165.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7f0a537a.jpg You would need to cut the bend off to convert it, or buy a new housing. |
^^^^^^ that's my wife's one top entry^^^^^^^SJ.
|
It can be confusing really it's top entry but at the front of the turbo compressor;).SJ.

Is spooling like a 'scalded dog' and a 'stabbed rat' good or bad?

Would like a td04H for my wagon too; do you need to change anything else?
