Strapping on a CHEAP quick spooling TD04 is performance wise very close to putting an expensive, quite hard to source GT20 turbo on.
Plus a GT20 will likely ruin your clutch and lift your head, which means ideally you want some relatively expensive supporting mods.
he isnt a newbie and Im not being hostile. He asked us for ideas and advice and just because Im not being old fashioned and prefer mp3 over vinyls Im getting slated?!
Im running the gt2056 at 19psi, it lights up the wheels in 3rd. And its done 3000miles on a standard valeo clutch.
And the head is also fine.
I can imagine vnt causing more issues...but just the 's' range will be fine.
gt20s or 17s arent hard to source and td04 adapter plates arent cheap. And if you arent as awkward with tools as Puggy then you can make plates up yaself.
thats my opinion of course...and we all have our own...but things do improve and theres no need to follow the crowd with clones, a 40mm drop and a td04 anymore I think
Wishes for more power...
