Hi lads, I know you get loads of the same questions on these turbos (I've been searching) but there are a few things I can't find the answers to.
Now I don't own a Pug, I'm more into the MG/Rover L series diesels which are 2.0 direct injection however still very similar to the XUD in terms of power output, standard turbo on them is a GT1549, and not many people really push their L series where as you lot are doing loads, I've been following the likes of jammapic and Darren Lobb etc if only someone would do something like that with the L series!
There are a few people running VNT's and different turbos but hardly anyone has pushed the boundaries.
Anyway what sort of results are you lads getting with your TD04's?
- spool times?
- reliability? (Any blown engines?)
- power/torque figures?
- why are some people welding the wastegates? Is it purely a space issue? Surely having no boost control is a bad thing?
- what are they like to drive with, a lot of fun I expect?
