I think 1 or two people are using these but not broadcasting it. I don't see why it wouldn't work well. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

I appreciate you pointing me in the imprezza direction Brett, but which turbo is that exactly if you don't mind me asking? If anyone is running it on here, what boost are you getting out of it/running at, and what sort of RPM is it cutting in at? Thanks boys. My guess would be to wait for a member whom has one to respond if its not to secret to tell anyone. A lot of people as similar questions and like you i guess dont understand compressor maps as well as others. But keep reading mate and do what i did and look at pictures, google a turbo and look ant the images and marry them up. If i can i'll try and see where i got to on my research last time i looked. |

It's not the fitting that worries me, I'm quite happy to do that, it's more the 'worth' of fitting it if you see what I mean.

Then my question would be why try and dig up answers from members keeping secrets when the gt17 and gt20 are so capable

People enjoy discussions and i dont know the state of the turbo market by now but its somewhat strange that we seem to have lost all innovation in the use of "newer" turbos because of that exact same attitude. i'd like to see less of the smiles/winks and hinting and have a forum that is useful for development. what is good, bad, why people choose to upgrade from a GT17 > TD04..... what members use it and gains they have seen. So in that respect i find his question quite valid really. |

Simon. haha it wasnt aimed at you no it was just a general comment, but you are pretty secret about your turbo as i have asked you and you never told me, only that you went to a saab dealer and it cost you ^ |

Keeping secrets, and finding out new stuff for yourself is all part of the fun. Some things, like the tee piece trick, Zetec / bmw under crown cooling jets, bored out elbows, gt17, twinspring clutches, and of course pictures of turbo phils sister are things that are so great, you just feel obliged to share them regardless...

You lot can all whistle, am not telling you what colour I'm painting my bleed valve. Rest assured I've been told by Heidi Han that it will make my car 27% more powerful! If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

So in that respect i find his question quite valid really. first of all i think some one needs to point out the GT17 is a specific turbo.... the TD04 is a range or core size ( much like the GT part of GT17) so you cannot compare directly there is a TD04 equivalent to the GT17, and similar for the GT20 imo the TD, GT, and K0 series turbos are as modern as it gets, the newer GTr ball bearing garret and the GTX rage are all for much larger engines so i dont really get your 'newer' comment, or the attitude one? - and a further point the most powerfull a series to grace this forum had one of the oldest oldschool turbos on here my question was more to do with the fact the GT rage is very tryed and tested, quite well documented too, you dont need to read a compressor map to know the GT17 and GT20 work well i think enough members have proven it they can create enough power for 90% of us and its all here in black and white, the other 10% will keep secrets i dont know how to put it put it so im going to talk about money? why are rich people rich?- ill tell ya why because they dont bloody share it ( the rat bastards  )
no in most cases they earnt it, worked hard for it so they keep it i think thats why we have secrets,
the fact is people are very secretive on here, its all wink wink, nudge nudge. whats the point in mindlessly copying all the fun is in the learning and finding out for your self some of the best minis on this forum what do we actually know about them can anyone answer these questions? what turbo is on the don? what cam is in roberts? what turbo does matt woods run? what turbo does jim run? does it all really matter? if you read between the lines the info is here you just need to fill in the blanks
there is still innovation here, you just need to spot it, Edited by Brett on 3rd Jul, 2013. Yes i moved to the darkside |
