At what boost level / RPM did that happen?
Your new engine pic brought back so many memories, I though I was the only one using crappy wire contraptions to set up the camshaft timing
So you are/where using a Chinese td05 16g?
Does the fact it's twin scroll really help with lag/ low rpm boost?
Also at what rpm do you shift? 8k-9k?
I am thinking of a turbo upgrade for my t-jet, but i am not going to be going anywhere neat that power... it's still going to be a daily driver, I would love something close to 200 hp.
What do you guys think of the K03 turbo that is stock on the 1.8T VAG cars. The turbine and compressor wheels are a bit bigger that the VL36 turbo . It's also cheaper and easier to find in my region.
Vl36:
turbine inducer: 38-40mm (not sure probability because i have amelted turbine wheel)
turbine exducer: 30mm
compressor inducer: 30mm
compressor exducer: 40mm
K03 from what i can find:
Turbine wheel major diameter: 44mm
Turbine wheel minor diameter (exducer): 37
Compressor wheel major diameter: 44.5
Compressor wheel minor diameter: 31
I would think it's smaller that a TD04 and that is about what i want something in between the td04 and the vl36.
What do you guys think? is the turbo hot side to big..lead to lag?
