Reliable turbo setup recommendations please

[Lawless]

My ct9 setup is on its last legs engines standard

Mines ecu (preferably somthing that can be fueled by this)

And need somthing reliable as it's a daily and not too expensive

Anyone who has any reccomendations

Please fire away

Thanks Sam

[DavidAshton]

CT9 again then.

[Lawless]

Also forgot to mention if like a bit more boost but a reliable set up can't be doing with creep issues ect

[Jamie_VF22]

TD04 it then lad

TD04 setup...

Go with an externally gated setup then boost creep will be a thing of the past...

[Lawless]

Hmm I was thinking that aswel can it be fueled on a mines ecu ?

[Zeldoz]

Yeah easily! Do it your LOVE IT. I've recently done the same thing!

[daniel_g]

Can pick up decent TD04 setups for about about 500-600 quid, i ran my old GT with a Mines and it fuelled it nicely.

Personally wouldnt bother with a CT9 setup.

[Lawless]

ZeldoZ how much your setup set you back mate out of curiosity ?

[Chris_GlanzaV98]

Another one for tdo4

If the turbo ever let go easy to pick up another for not alot of money

Another vote for td04, though you wont know if the Mines will be safe on the td04 until you try it.

Whole kit to put together was around £600

That seems to be your answer for everything lol.

Piston ring failure = fix it, then TD04

Flat battery = new battery, then TD04

lol

[Lawless]

An inconclusive TD04 it is then just need to find a decent second hand kit then(anyone)

What will be needed to make sure the mines ecu is running the setup properly ?

You'll need to keep an eye on air/fuel ratio, but keep in mind that a TD04 at 1 bar will be flowing more air than a CT9 at 1 bar.

A wideband is a must ^^

What boost do you want to run at ?

NA 5efhe build? kick it, then td04.

thats just the way things get done

got move a few things round first, but you goota be aiming for some power for sure

yup and AFR and some det cans will tell you what the mines is getting up to, but wont allow you to change anything.

and then well, if its behaving badly you can flog it for 500quid to the next mug

I'm not planning on going over a bar as I only have standard internals ATM so to start with probably only .8

See how it behaves then maybe up to a bar mate

Just don't no if I should just get tod of the mines and change ecu aswel but I'm on a pretty tite budget

You have it now, might as well give it a shot see what it does.

just remember wideband AND det cans, those mines are keen on timing advance.

A Mines will fuel a TD04 @ 0.8 bar, its always advisable to get the fueling checked on a dyno or buy a wideband and keep an eye on fueling yourself.

P&Ps are ok imo but you could sell it for 500ish and get an EMB + mapping for around the same.

[Lawless]

Does it have to be a tdo4l ?

[mikey4410]

Ideally but not that important mate.
