sooo confused now what to do

[nazzurro19]

right im confused n i cant make my mine up now, basically i have a wepr power up kit , short fmic , mani etc but after seeing steveGT thread with his crank oil seal going whilst running a hybrid has kinda put me off fitting one lol

my idea was nice short fmic and a nice hybrid turbo = little lag,lotsa power

but then i was doing more research and now found out that a hybrid at 1.2/3 bar is the same as like a td04 at 0.8bar power wise but the td04 is a little laggy but how much laggy is it ?

so is it now worth me selling my power up kit n gettin a td04 kit ? cause the way i see it is , same power but less boost = less strain on engine

and is it true that you cant run 1bar on a td04 with a standard engine ? god im so confused on what to do !! oh and what ever option is best i will be running externally

cheers guys please help lol i wish i knew someone with a td04 so i could see the difference

can run td04 at 1.1 bar on standard internals fine mate, thats what im doing. its all down to the map dude.

There is several discussions on TGTT about this very subject dude! You can run a stock engine with higher than 1 bar of boost but it isnt advised because it normally doesnt last long! Steves was through a crank seal not being replaced, not just because he was running a hybrid. IMO its entirely down to personal preference. Ive got both turbos.. JUst gonna dabble a bit with both

[Maz90]

I dont think theres much lag on the td04,not as much as everyone makes out.

[nazzurro19]

hmm i wana go hybrid for the fact that its like instant power n im pretty much complete now with the build

but then i know my engine isnt the strongest and i dont want it to die lol

but then after running the strip last weekend maybe a td04 will give me a better time ?? hmm i like the hybrid route as its easier to install etc

ARGH!! ima have a look on tgtt

aint wepr doing a ct9-td04 adapter kit buy that and you can keep your mani all ul need is a tdo4 downpipe a td04 turbo unit are cheap as chips just a thought dude

[nazzurro19]

hmm really ill check it out lol is fitting a td04 early though i dont get this whole lark with the oil and water return etc etc

[string]

You can buy a braided hose kit for them bud! Cant remember who on the forum does them but i remember seeing them

[nazzurro19]

nah deans means a new manifold etc i contacted him as that was my original plan

dont the oil n water lines on the td04 need to be changed though ? i thought it had to be made to run 2 oil lines in/out instead of one being water or something

its the same as ct9 mate, 1 oil feed, 1 oil return and 2 water lines

[nastyrash 2003]

just to confuse u even more look at this little monster gt2554r am thinking of running this good spool.

[nazzurro19]

daz youve recently gone td04 what bar u runing and what engine specs whats the difference like ? i dont mind lag if i get such a massive boost in power that i can make the lag time back if ya get me

[ep91steve]

You don't need water lines on tdo4

You have to clock the turbo so oil return pipe facing down!

Go hybrid mate that ct20/ct9 turbo that's for sale is the tits and bargin for 200 ask shorty he had one to at some point

[nazzurro19]

i hate this turbo CRAP !! lol

[LeeG]

theres pics in my build tread of my water lines and oil feed pipe am using td05 20g same fitment as td04 but bigger.

[ep91steve]

You have saved hard and that for your wepr power up kit etc!

Don't stop no you will love it mate.if you were close a would give you a shot off mine
