that particular turbo on ebay is a japanese copy of a genuine td05-20g turbo which are in the region of £800 brand new, a genuine 20g will make 400bhp with correct supporting mods. These copies have a reputation of making less power and breaking usually taking an engine with it, hence why you really dont want one

HTH

the turbo will last less then 2 months in general. you gets what you pay for.

We fitted one of these once - it lasted 6 weeks. Didn't do any more damage than just fall to bits. The exhaust housing is made of some sort of pig iron metal that cannot support the heat generated.

I've also seen a few fitted where they just don't perform.

Like everything in life, if it looks to good to be true, it probably is.

A real TD05 is always around the 750 / 800 quid mark.

Stay well away from cheap internet versions of this type of turbo.

Dont know why people dont wait leave feedback after fitting the turbo on

Miss scooby......TD05 20G not really ideal. A TD05 16G (Front entry) or STi VF35 would be a better choice.

Then you need bigger injectors, fuel pump, exhaust, panel filter plugs and re-map. Get a shade over 300 BHP

so a vf35, sti injectors ok? walbro fuel pump, can get an exhaust no probs, and got panel and plugs ready to fit along with service bits, then remap it all. cool cheers shaun.

Not at all, I have a td05-20g supplied by Andy.F and paid over £1000 for it, as i dont go on ebay to often i was,nt to know there was such a thing as a copy td05-20g so thoght i'd found a bargain and wanted to pass it on, the comment you made could give an innocent user a bad name and i'm not happy about it, i'm just happy i re-visited this thread and i've had the opertunity to tell everyone im not an undercover scammer. p.s. im also a customer of yours
