as per titile,

the vf34 i fitted just isnt suiting my driving style, so im thinking sell that and get a hybrid td04, either have mine done, or get a new one.

but i cant find anyone who still does it


any ideas?

Dunno if this helps but folk use TD04 on Glanzas and this company sell them

Build your own. It's just a case of unscrewing some bolts/nuts, replacing a few parts with new and bolting up again. Plus you get a new, rebuilt turbo to boot. Lots of videos online.

What about balancing ?

 

If you buy the turbine & compressor from the company in the link, for example, they come as a pre-balanced set. Or just send the whole unit off to be balanced to any turbo company.

Ultimately it's just the compressor and housing that need changing. Makes sense to strip it all down and replace with new parts whilst it's apart. You can fit an upgraded turbine as well if you like. With the TD04/5 turbos, it's cheap and easy to rebuild them yourself. Not an option with the VF series AFAIK

 

Does Andy Forrest not do his AFP4H anymore ??

Depending on wheel you fit do you not have to machine the housing too ?

True there will be drop in kits and like you say all you need is have it balanced,

There's a guy Craig Bellworthy who makes Billet VF

 

Some of the cheaper require maching, yes. The one I liked to doesn't though.

 

Not based on price i mean based on size,

I was told my turbo is a sc42 that got machined to fit a bigger compressor wheel, just due to size.

 

Craig Bellworthy on Facebook is really well known for his turbo's i've had 2 from him, and he's making a 3rd for me at the mo.

He made a td04 hybrid (larger than oem and billet wheel) and ported the wastegage opening, and hotside for maximum spool at a price much cheaper than anyone else.

Give him a shout on FB.

 

Bigger Compressor requires bigger housing obviously. However, the bigger compressor can also require a bigger back-plate, which would need machining. However, the one I linked to doesn't require any machining.

 

SC32 billet.

 

LOL

its a great turbo loads of midrange, but all my driving is round town, so its hold it in 2nd to 3k or feels a little bit flat, the quick spikey spool of the td04 was more suited to me,

dont forget ive come from leon k1 with a quick spooling turbo cira 320 bhp

I had my standard td04 rebuilt by turbo dynamics. Bigger wheel,ported etc. Made 300ish. I live in deepest darkest south East London and it's got great spool and low down torque.
The turbo is always there if you know what I mean.
Where you based?

 

Td04 billet wheel

 

im rochdale, greater manc

 

Oh,was gonna offer a ride.but I'm not in Rochdale any time soon.

 

Personally I think that my car is still actually too fast for where I live.if I want to release the beast I have to be extremely careful and mostly in the dead of night.
I had a td05 in a classic and that was virtually unusable in south East London.
What I like about my car now is that it's got real good driveability if that's a word.
The low torque gives the feeling of power,the decat gives the grunt and noise but also being 300 bhp it's got good mid range speed if needed.
