Ollieh17 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Looking at a custom turbo kit for my charade. The standard turbo is okay, but flanges are hard to come by and very restricted choice in the future. As a 1.0l 3cylinder the turbo has to be pretty small, was thinking of a tf035 but think it may be a touch too laggy, spool around 4-4.5k i guess. Open to TD, garrett etc turbos if anyone has any suggestions Quote Link to post Share on other sites

karl. Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 What's wrong with a hybrid ct9? Nice and small and still enough to flow 200bhp? Or even a blitz k1 if you can get your hands on one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 No scope for upgrading with a ct9 flange, plus ct9 is an inferior turbo that isn't much bigger than the ihi already fitted Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 tfo35 with an uprated compresor housing and wheel is best bet i say way more torque Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Too much torque will kill the gearbox Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 GT17 looks ideal, have read about issues using diesel turbos on petrol cars due to the heat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wickedep Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 hi ollieh...we have a lot of experience with kei car turbo kits... gt15 or gt17 works real well. very fast spool up. we have several alto k10 (1000cc) 3 cyl's with our custom turbo kits...gt15 gives full boost under 3000rpm.

Ollieh17 Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Awesome! What sort of power do they make? Do you sell the gt15 and gt17s? Wish you could get your hands on a gtti and make up a kit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
