Yeah your right however the td04's do like the higher rpm's

The GT series units seem to have umpteen different configurations and for instance the one I have is a right hassle to adapt which means I am having to spend money on just getting the things changed which are obviously wrong for an XUD. You can probably get a TD04 on for £200 whereas with my GT20 it's looking more like £350 to give you a rough idea.

The way conor did it was to ream out (on a lathe - £30/40???) the hotside of a k14 to accommodate the bigger turbine wheel.
Then the k14-2 just bolted up. No messing with the exhaust or adaptor plates. Its a really simple cost effective way of doing it.
Turbo £50-80.... lathe work £20-40....Exhaust work £0.... Max £120.

However, i always thought it was a shame to fit the big turbo and not create a bigger better flowing downpipe, but that is just my opinion.
There isnt much difference between fitting a t25 or a td04. Both need adaptor plates for exhaust and manifold.

I cant comment on the gt turbos or vnts other than to say they probably command a bigger price due to their newer tech.

When I reemed my elbow and hotside it went much better and I was a sad I didnt just use the merc one and a massive down pipe, so your right!

Alrite stranger hows the form?

I still think it is one of the neatest ways to fit a big turbo on an xud.
Even just fitting a bigger downpipe to the k14 hotside would work well, i just always hated the standard 306 elbow.

Just because it can(not for long) doesn't mean you have to

Heh, was taking the piss, but seriously, providing the cars well maintained and not ranted from cold (or abused in any other unnecessary YOBO manor) then your going to be prolonging the life of the engine.

Not really seen many dyno's going past 4.7~5k but doubt theres much power up there anyway unless your running a stupidly laggy turbo.
