Calum122 Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Hi, I was looking at this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAMBA-GTX-Billet-Turbocharger-For-SUBARU-FORESTER-XT-TF035HM-13T-Spool-Fast-/192213532361?epid=629592280&hash=item2cc0d1bec9:g:ANsAAOSw0fhXiQB6 Wondering if anyone has any experience. A big of Googling says that Mamba aren't terrible, and that they actually were part of Kinugawa's before they split to form two companies. Anyone got any thoughts?

I am feeling TF035 more and more but don't know what the crack is just yet. From what I've read from your posts, they use the TD04 flange, so it would be a case of getting a TD04 Turbo kit, and swapping the turbo out for a TF035h? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone got any thoughts? based on one case i know of, i can say that the mambo turbo works quite well and very reasonably priced Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Me personally thinks its dear its only stock tfo size with billit wheelThat's just my 2c Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 Me personally thinks its dear its only stock tfo size with billit wheelThat's just my 2c Colin, I was thinking, by the time you get a used turbo, cleaned it up and rebuilt it, you might as well have got a new one.

5e colin Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 You not getting it you will have a bigger hybrid as the mamba is a stock size wit billit wheel that's all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 You not getting it you will have a bigger hybrid as the mamba is a stock size wit billit wheel that's all No no, I understand. But then why not just buy a TD04 and be done with it. Surely with the bigger wheel you'll be affecting spool to the point where you may have just bought a WEPR TD04....

5e colin Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 (edited) it will always spool faster then any tdo4 due to turbine shaft size do some homework and lo0ok up the size differences the 19t compressor wheel is not that much heavier then stock td/tfo wheel there's also weight differences by which brand you buy and type of wheel i will have a 19t tfo over a 19t tdo4l al day long pure out of drivability Edited June 30, 2017 by 5e colin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ramses Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 i have experimented the td04 -19T (if it is what you want ), a vf35 is better , 19t is laggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
