Default Turbo

Hi

Depends on what turbo you have on the car at the moment if you have a tdo4 which i think it might have being a auto but then again im not to sure as it is a 94. I had a tdo4 on my 97 manual wagon i replaced it with a vf24 which was a strait swap and man what a difference it pulls so much harder and longer now i love it you also need to check what intake you have on the turbo being a straight or 90degree intake as this could limit you choice of turbo if you just want a strait un-bolt and bolt-in upgrade. Im no expert by a long way but hope this helps.

A TD05 and a Z4 ECU will bolt straight on (an automatic Saloon has a 220ps 'Wagon engine runing a TD04) and should produce about 250-260bhp: but how your automatic transmission will cope I couldnt say.

it is a tdo4 at the moment. I have seen various td05, but kind of confused which one to go for.

I understand automatic owners are a bit hesitant to upgrade, but im a mature owner and wont be thrashing it around. Just feel i would be satisfied with a bit more power.

Z4 and TD05 is your only real option. Its the cheapest too and good for a further 40PS; a lot more if you remove the catalytic converter as well.
