Hi all

Ive been looking for a hybrid td04 on here and im having no luck its for my 2005 wrx ive got a vf35 on it at the moment but i hate the lag 4000 before full boost ive looked on ebay and someone is selling a td04hl he says its better than a standard td04 more power spool etc is it worth me buying this turbo as i still have my old td04 or should i just stick my old one back on the turbo is from subaru uk and brand new or can anyone one recommend somewhere to buy a hybrid from or upgrade the one ive got ive tried andy forest he dosnt sell them anymore and i dont know where to look next i can be contacted on here or email philip_watkinson@yahoo.co.uk

Thankyou in advance

Philip

 

TD04HL has a larger 19T compressor wheel, the standard TD04L has a smaller 13T, vf35 is good for 350bhp with supporting mods and the td04 is only good for 280 ish, id personally stick with the vf35 as you have already have it mapped to this and going back to a tdo4 would be a backward step imo

ill buy your old td04 if its in good nick and cheap

 

Ive sent u an email mate

 

C R turbos, New Milton, will build yours up for about £ 450, good for 300 hp, or possibly 320 with supporting mods, nothing spools faster than a hybrid TD04

 

Thanks for replys and advice

 

Andy Forrest hybrid TD04? Supposed to be very good. If that's an option for you.

Andy forest not selling them anymore he just does mapping full time he was the only source i knew of
thanks

 

TDO4 V TDO4HL refers to just the turbine wheel and housing it has no direct correlation to compressor wheel. Given your looking at tdo4hl on ebay i would be sceptical and say not 19T.

I converted my own td04 13t to a 19T billet, on my fxt, but it requires bigger compressor cover and bearing core ontop of compressor wheel. I just gave it ago as it was leaking oil anyway, probably woulnt bother going 19T if i was to do it again and just go for 18T.

 

Hi mate

thanks for advice im going to hang on to see if a hybrid td04 comes up anywhere and im very wary of ebay thats why i asked on here first as i bought what was advertised as a td05 16g seller said all the right things and it did look mint i bought it had mine taken off that put on guy tried to map it didnt boost at all totally crap turbo had to take that off buy a vf35 put that on remap again etc cost me 1400 in total with turbos and maps and fitting i was gutted and now im still not where i wanted to be should have waited until i found a hybrid but got talked into td05/vf35 but i hate the lag and smooth torque i dont get the rush of power like my mapped td04 which was only 275 bhp and full boost at 3000 car is now 320 and gutless and i have to wait until 4000 rpm before any power very dissapointed in car now

 

If you're waiting for a secondhand TD04 Hybrid, there might be a queue

 

Im getting the feeling im in a que there obviously too good no ones selling them gutted

 

Hi pal
thanks for that i will try to contact him that sounds every bit what im after

 

Ive emailed cr turbos no reply as yet but will ring if no reply in next couple of days

 

Have you tried scooby clinic, they sell a hybrid td04 (IIRC) labeled as an SC32

 

Hi mate

no not tried scooby clinic i will look on net now
thanks

 

I love the little td04 ! I went to vf28 but thinking going back at the moment

 

I believe that was the turbo I had on my V5 STI. I'm considering one of these as a replacement as the hybrids a so hard/expensive to get hold of.

Out of interest why do you want to go back?

 

Yeah me too almost instant response compared to my set up at moment really miss the quick spool up just got the upgrade bug and i think i expected too much didnt realise i had to swap spool up for more bhp its my first impreza and only car ive ever messed with but im not alone on that score lol

 

I've killed it lol yeah think this was off a sti mate

But it was about 305 bhp so if I drop 20ish bhp dunno if I will notice in my classic ?? 285 should still be quick I hope

I got a td04 only done 6k ! Just want trouble free , beings its a old uk spec too

 

I'm running 279/301 on my standard TD04 and TBH I'm pretty happy for road fun. The only thing I want is for the power not to drop off when I get towards the red line. I want it to pull hard all they way.

Sorry for hijacking this thread

 

Reason why i want to go back as it were im not over impressed with the power delivery its really smooth and not agressive the td04 i had mapped was quick to shove you in the seat and great round town and the traffic light race it was away and i dont launch the car as later spool up tempts you to do that sooner or later gearbox will go plus engine screaming loud as hell and ppl looking at you etc

 

What mods you got ? Saw on race dynamix site they got 291 out of a td04 if I remember correctly

 

Decat, fuel pump, air filter. It was a PPP originally.

 

Sounds like mine mate

 

Power drop off is why i changed it in first place thinking i could get a bigger turbo and that would be gone it has gone pulls upto redline ok but the boost is on and off in 4th and 5th thats annoying too i was dumb enough to think i would have early spool plus not running out of puff and ive spent over 2000 on the car messing with it

 

Sounds like we need a group buy on Hybrid TD04's

 

Run it on meth ?

 

That sounds a bit scary to me..

 

Yeah my mate runs it and it is a bit lol

 

I know the andy forest td04 are mad spool up and some ppl have had 320 bhp and full boost at 2500 rpm thats as much power as my set up and crazy early spool up and keeps going until redline sounds top to me
