td04 or vf34 ,other vf series?

[jakeep82]

Soon i will be taking my whole mani off and changing all gaskets and welding up my internal wastegate on my td04 ! i want to try and acheive 300bhp ! im currently running 268.1 bhp at 1.2 bar on forged 4e!so was thinking and only thinking at the minute depends how much it will set me back byt i might try a new turbo like one of the vf series turbos, so what turbo would you recommend?

[Flaminsam]

I've just taken my friends scooby sti for MOT and it had a Vf34 on it. Goes well and has minimal lag. That's on a 2l engine though. :/

I've got a 5e with a vf35 and tbh i wouldn't want that turbo on a 1.3. Its fairly laggy compared to a td04. I think you'll be better off staying 04 because the power will be more useable. either that or go for a gt30 or something

[jakeep82]

oh right dont want nothing too laggy so will probably stay away from that then what sort of size is a gt30 in comparision to a td04 ? and what sort of rpm what you hit full boost on a gt30?

Take a close look at these turbo kits:

Spools better then a td04 yet can produce 350bhp!

Similar to what Id run and I love it!

GT30 is about twice the size of a td04 lol.

I would try one of the kits Socks has posted, atleast try newer technology, dual ball bearing FTW

[jakeep82]

would a gt28 swap straight over to a td04 kit or would the flanges be different ?

[Burny]

Different

[mattyD]

a gt28 is a whole different ball game mate, but if you want more power with minimal lag as said, dual ballbearing FTW

[pick1]

If u have the money mate IMO gt28 ftw minimal lag maximum power garret are awsome

most of garrets blowers r vband or t3 flanged...

[Flaminsam]

Or t2 flanged like the t28, t25 etc. The t3 flanges are on t30 etc. I wouldn't mind a gt2560 on mine in time. Quick spool and can hold 1.5bar nicely.

[jakeep82]

hmmmm maybe something for the future to consider think ill stick td04 for the minute and see what i can get from it !! cheers for ya help !

[AdamB]

If your thinking of changing, deffo go garrett ;)

[jakeep82]

i think i will but wont be for a while yet !!
