I currently have a tdo4 turbo on my uk 2000 but have been offered a tdo5 my question is this, is there much difference between the two turbos? and if i were to put the tdo5 on my car will it run fine without a remap or would there be no point in fitting it?

 

im assuming is td05-16g. td05 will be good for around 340bhp with supporting mods.

you will definitly need a remap as td05 is bigger turbo.

 

So will i not see any noticeable gains just by putting the turbo on the car as opposed to running my tdo4?

 

is the swop a straight one??any other work needed except the re map?

 

You may notice a broken engine if you're unlucky. What you are most unlikely to get is a car that runs right, or, significantly better than with the standard turbo.

 

That will do me ill leave it lol, do you know if i can get my car remapped its a uk my98 just i heard that these ecu's as standard cnt be mapped and that you havae to buy another ecu is this correct?

 

Provided you're sure you have an MY98 (coilpack in the centre of the inlet manifold), that's correct, you will need an aftermarket ECU. Worth double-checking the model year if you're not sure (or are basing your current belief on something you read on Scoobynet), as the year codes often quoted round here are wrong for UK cars.

 

Well reason why i ask is because i dont know what ecu i have in my car mate am trying to find out whether its the original one or not, any ideas what the codes-numbers i want to be lookign for ( it also has the central coilpack)

 

if it is the origional ecu,it will be labled 8S

 

o.k will check this out thanks mate.
