their feedback looks really good, but 300 for a TD05-20G

is this too low?? worth buying?

any help appreciated

thanks

rob

 

So many horror stories about people buying cheap turbos off ebay I wouldnt even think about it.

 

Cheap low quality copy?

Here's one from a respected vendor

You get what you pay for, I'd say

 

thanks for the comments fellas

just sent an email to Harvey asking what hes got for sale etc

 

Also try here another genuine seller

http://www.andyforrestperformance.co.uk/16307.html

 

what turbo / power u looking for and what yr/engine.

 

power 350 ish torque 370ish
on a 2.5 GB270

note that i have everything else i need tmic fuel pump exhaust sparks filter etc etc
all im missing is the turbo

 

Don't waste money on this turbo,if will last few months you will be lucky guy."Genuine TD05" turbo and eBay this two things don't work,out there are lots of Chinese copies/fakes/knock off which seems doesn't work or work but not make power which may make,pay once and later you will pay lot more.

gd stuff, i had to do all this on my hawkeye wrx.

are u just mapping the original ecu, i did and also got lauch control ,it will bring u plenty of smiles lol

im now running 355bhp, either the vf30,35,43 are really good, and will get around340-360bhp i have the vf43 on mine,
it comes on the 07 sti's and is an updated version of the 39

also consider brakes,

when i had my 4pots i had braketech discs and mintex 1144 pads braided lines,5.1dot fluid and its was superb at stopping.(aztec performance)

went to front brembos, with discs and fast road pads from ian godney, and above lines/fluid, i thought it was worse than the 4pot set tbh, i then put in the newblustuff pads, OMG, talk about stopping, superb and highly recommend both set ups,

u dont need to worry about injectors as the 2,5 has the sti pinks as standard

hope this helps a bit

cheers tom

 

One way of finding out the quality is by asking if there is a warrenty with it. Does seem far too cheap though

 

Could get ~350bhp from a 18g. Might save you a few quid.

 

A decent second hand 20G is worth £400 so a new one for £300 is a no go. I've got a proper 20G on mine and that made 382bhp on a 2LT engine.
You get what you pay for. Andy forests 20G's are your best bet.

 

tom,

i forgot to add to that list earlier, drilled and grooved black diamond discs with pads and braided lines are also sitting waiting to go on.

had a look at vf43s but they dont seem to come around much. theres one on here at minute for sale from a dude in romania, but not sure on that one.

vf30 on the 2.5?



Cheers for everyone elses comments, i'll be staying away from that turbo on ebay..


right now to find a decent 2nd hand turbo for around 350-400 quid.. this will only be on the car for a while untill i have more funds for a gearbox conversion and stronger internals

 

harveys 20g is good, i got 404bhp and 430ft lbs on a 2.5

 

i have to be careful as my gearbox is only the 5 speed
after reading through this site i see people blow these boxes up a fair bit when going for bigger power

 

At your predicted level, ie 350, on Newage 5 speed, you should be fine (unless you abuse it of course)

 

i dont do any track days and the car is used only on weekends for a few hours mostly motorway miles. but saying that i am partial for a few foot to the floor moments



brought a VF35 yesterday so this will see me through for a few months before i can go silly better start saving for internals and a gearbox

 

the gearbox is fine at 350 ,its when u get nearer the 400 its a danger!!

i use mine everyday and i dont track mine but like the odd launch here and there,

and with runnning 355bhp its the best of both words, i would like a 6spd set up but once i get more cash together.

once u get it on and mapped its going to be a monster

 

I have a 20g Greersport Racing Turbo for sale soon if you are interested, It made 360/400 by Andy F on only 1.4 bar.

The Turbo has only done approx 2k

I am getting one of Garrett's new GTX 500+ turbos

If you are interested PM me.

 

Thanks for that.
I sell two 05 20 Gs depending on your spec. HS2714P and HS2814P.
Both are £850 plus £12.50 overnight delivery or we fit for a fixed £50 here in Darlington. Both turbos have uprated wastegate actuators and ported exhaust inlet. I will include uppipe and downpie gaskets while I have stock of these.
Although some customers have rolling road graphs wellover 400 bhp I state these are 380 bhp turbos and actual output will depend on supporting mods.
I also have 18G turbos, uprated actuators and ported exhaust inlet. Two turbos subject to 2 litre or 2.5 litre. Will include gaskets. Same delivery and fitting as above. £725.
All turbos are warranted for 12 months subject to proper fitting and operation.

 

VF35 is a great turbo. Minimallly slower spool up than TD04, but far more mid / top end grunt.

 

no worries harvey, il be in touch to collect my bribe money soon

 

When I was having my last Scoob remapped with a Vf35 and supporting mods, the mapper gave me a courtesy car which had a Vf 35 and also a 2.5 bottom end. I couldn,t detect any lag at all, just instant response. When I got my car back I felt that the Vf35 which worked very good with my 2 Litre was even better with the 2.5 engine. Steve.

 

VF35 generally 340 bhp capable and VF34 about 360 to put it into perspective.

 

if you want cheap turbo but good quality subary breakers called awsome imports based in bristol the will deliver
