I've been offered a new IHI VF24.. Is this capable of higher boost levels than the standard "UK (Face lift classic) Turbo" blower (VF22?? ) and are the UK spec injectors up to the job?

Thanks peeps!

The standard Uk facelift turbo is a TD04 not the VF22. The VF24 is capable of higher boost than the Td04 and will make a good upgrade with a front mount intercooler. The injectors will be okay as long as you fit and uprated pump and possibly regulator.

The turbo on my car doesnt look like a TD04? If it is is the V24 a direct fit?

Cheers!

The VF22 is a monster of a turbo! If the VF24 is being offered to you at an attractive price then Id have it. Its essentially similar to a later VF29 although the VF29 has an improved turbine design.

I'm going to see if the guy will get the turbo to me so I can take a look at it and compare it with what I've got.. Correct me if im wrong but isnt the TD04 a solid bearing turbo? Defo does not feel as laggy as a solid bearing turbo..

The majority of turbos have a thrust bearing, as do the VF24/29. The TD04 feels perky due to its size. It spools quickly because its small, not because it has a roller bearing compressor.

what do u think of the TD0520G?

vf24 spools well and pumps out decent enough air, a good upgrade for a uk car if you dont want to go crazy

A very rugged turbo that is capable of moving a lot of air. Having said that due to the size of it some unwelcome lag may be present.

Tuned cupras run those IHI turbos

Sounds promising! Might have to go for it
