sayer88 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 hi peeps, I can't make my mind up to on ct12 or td04 I used to have hybrid ct12 on my old gt with external wastegate etc and loved it, but at same time everyone td04 sounds good advice and opinions welcomed thanks.

akyakapotter Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 My advice would be to find some one local that has gone td04 and go out with them and also have a drive you'll no for Defo then Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Starlets should have came TD04'd from factory, suits it down to the ground. Unless you are like me, i thought my TD04 spooled too fast haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Broony Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Only worth going td04 ifyour going forged imo Lies and you know it homo!! not that when you pissing your pants in mine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Broony Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Id say only worth going td04 if you aren't forged... May as well go bigger when forged... Depends if you like you boost coming in at 4k or above!! My preference is i like smaller turbos and quick spool times and i think the TD04 is a good compromise on spool time for power- Not taking anything away from the big power boys just i dont think id be happy with my car setup that way. Like said above best way is to get some seat time with different setups Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Yeah Toby, i like my turbos laggy, went and set my GT up on TD04 to spool fast (1 bar at 3.4k) and wished it was more laggy lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 TD04s all the way mate! I've been in and driven both a ct12 hybrid and a td04 glanza and the Td04 is so much faster! If you're local to Nottingham I can take you out in mine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keirz Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 with ct12 hybrids the problem is you experience a bit more lag over a ct9 but not much more power, and you still need to run over 1 bar to see worth while power, plus from a rebuild respective they are more difficult to obtain parts. would go td04 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sayer88 Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 thanks for the advice and opinion peeps going to make my brother let me drive his td04 gt at weekend and have a play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andy91145 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I'm in the same situation I know around March next year I'm going for the turbo upgrade but I don't know which anyone used one of these ebay jobs? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-STARLET-EP82-EP91-CT9-UPGRADE-TURBOCHARGER-TURBO-/400252970814?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item5d30efa73e I would like to go TD04 with external wastegate as all I've read on here is they should have come like that factory but from a cost point of view which is more forgiving on the old budget?

daniel_g Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Dat wait! It's soo worth it when your passenger cries as it boosts (true story not even joking)Quick spooling turbos just feel like a fast N/a car to me, i had a TD05 18g in my old WRX and when that kicked in ohh ya fucker it really kicked it. Who did you make cry haha ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TurboTobz Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 My mrs the firs time I boosted up with her un it after converting it. It ruined it for her really she use to egg me on to terrorise the macdonalds boys and get them to race she loved the ct9 lol but to me all it really done was make noises! I like to feel n/a for a few k revs then big booooost all of a sudden!!! Lags only as bad as you make it anyways (unless your way oversize for engine capacity), you adapt your driving around it and it can be un-noticeable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Turk Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I recon you shud go for a vf23. And its only slightly bigger then a td04 so spool time shudnt be very different. But good thing is that its a ball bearing turbo. So shud be responsive compared to the td04. Also its a direct swap from a td04 as it has the same flanges. But td04 is brutal compared to a hybrid ct9. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
