But then had loads of people message me saying they done the same and it's fine.So who knows until you Try yaself I guess..I think you can pull it off on a budget as long as the key parts aren't silly cheap, race tech offer a basic turbo kit starting at around £1500 using a reconditioned blower.

Grant Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Their basic set up is a twin scroll td05 from an evo though which is the only thing that puts me off. Restricts you if you ever want to change. Plus that's only mani, turbo, IC & IC pipe work. It's pricey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 And @KiNK43 it can defo be done on a budget mate and be reliable. So many people have done it, then it's like you said @Aerodeckcivic it's all about the mapping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I know mapping is incredibly important. I think racetech would be a good choice.From what I gather they offer warranty if fitted by them. And td05 may restrict you flange wise but it's gonna be an awesome turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 3k odd fitted and tuned. You just supply ecu, injectors and fuel pump iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do know someone who works at Midland Turbo so could probably get the parts a bit cheaper then it would be a case of fitting and mapping. Wouldn't be cheap by any means.

Grant Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 @KiNK43 yeah i think your right mate, something like a 3 year warranty on the mani, 6 month on the turb and then 24 month if they fit it .. TD05 is a pretty good turbo by all accounts, quick spool and keeps going top end .. From what i've read and seen, should return around 250 @ 7-8 psi .. And could be cranked up higher .. Swings and round abouts really .. Difficult to know which route to take .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difficult to know which route to take ..See for what I want that's already more power than I have in mind, if as you and others say the stock internals are happy to take even more then that would be me sorted power wise as I'd not need any more really!
