I am thinking of getting a hybrid TD04 for my 05 wagon; it seems to be perfect for daily, real world driving, and I am not chasing bhp. My question is, will a trick up pipe be a good mod with this turbo, or is it unnecessary with such a small, quick spooling turbo? I plan to change the up pipe anyway, to remove the cat, but may just use an sti one if that`s what you all suggest. Are there any other supporting mods needed, apart from a re map? I am stage 1 at the moment. Thanks.

 

I'm doing the same conversion, i think it will be the best value for money conversion for a daily road car. I've read thats also a lot of peoples experience after having a hybrid.

It really depends on how much you want to do, how far you want to go, going catless will help in everyway!

Take a look at this guide, all stages are tried and tested, and is from a VERY reputable tuner.

Good luck with it all :-)

 

I would have thought a standard classic or a sti up pipe would be fine for a td04 hybrid.

 

I gained more spool with my hybrid td04 after I fitted Harvey smith ported headers and up pipe

Martin

 

Were can i get harvey ported headers and up pipe was it A S performance?

 

Yes to the up-pipe, not sure if he does the ported headers, Harvey used to port those himself.

 

Thanks for info.
