]Hey guys, I have been looking for a turbo upgrade for my stock engine, and the only way around here is to look for one in a scrapyard like workshops, so I came across different turbos: nissans, kkk, hitachis, bmws, a toyota ct20 and some volvos. I'll post pics tonight as I couldn't recognize all of them but the BMW one had a plate that said TD04 11G ? A diesel maybe?
I Couldn't find any thing from an evo or a WRX or a k24. So I want some opinions on these turbo, are any of them any good?
Wait for the pics

Thanx

Here are some pics I took
CT20

no not yet, but I learned that the TD04-11g is a diesel and the CT20 will be laggy and won't give much power.
are you familiar with any of the others?

well, i went with the wind and installed a td04-L coz of the ease of parts and service items for it..
it makes for a very interesting drive compared to the ct9.. :D

that's from an EVO or a WRX right? unfortunately I couldn't find this one here but still looking, and no matter which turbo I'll be using I'll have to fabricate everything from manifolds to downpipes to water lines and oil feeds. Parts are not available around here and shipping from anywhere doubles the price. sometimes I think what's wrong with a CT9 :D :D

mine was from a wrx. it appears you are in an 'unlucky region' of the world where parts and service options are limited. stick to the ct9 -- nothing wrong with it unless you are after mad power..

yeah I hardly even found that engine I have now, I consider myself the luckiest of the unlucky :D It's my everyday driver and I just want some more power especially after I had it on the dyno, but I have a bad actuator and I disconnected it's vacuum hose now it boosts to around 0.7 bar but it can't hold it at all I believe my weak actuator spring is responsible for this otherwise I'd have unlimited boost.



P.S. both runs were after disconnecting the actuator hose

I ran a TD04HL 19T from a Volvo for years, good spool but it did run out of puff at the top of the rev range compared to the Subaru unit but it kept the driveability good and I just shifted at 7K.

Look for compressor maps for the units above, plot them out and see how they look, fitting the thing has to be taken into consideration as well.

I never knew volvos had TD04, which volvo did it came off of? any pics?
also I've been told that I can get turbochargers from Volvos around here, do you know any other Turbo from a volvo that would make a nice upgrade for the 4EFTE?

thanx man
but T5 is the engine or turbo charger code?
also I persume that a K04 turbocharger will have K04xxxxxxxxx serial right?
or is there another way to recognize these turbos?

The compressor inducer will be 40mm+ And yes K04xxxxx
Audi TT K04s are really good turbos.
T5 is Turbo 5 cylinder :D
Try to get K04 or TD04L
