Turbo finally on its way out?

[silverzx]

Lol ^. Conflicting views. I'll just have to research a bit and make a decision. Cost is an issue but if it's going to last a while I could spend £1-200 on just the turbo. Anything more would be silly with my lack of knowledge.

Cheers for the input though people. Building an idea of the route I'll take now.

In an IDEAL world you'd of bought a GT2052/GT2056 bolt on kit for £150-£250 from someone on here.

They don't seem to come up often though.

TD04L kits crop up from time to time between £80-£150.

You could make either kit yourself but it's usually more expensive, time consuming and generally ball ache.

If you know/have any friends with a welder you could bodge a TD04 onto a manifold and make some home brew plates for under £50 if you got the turbo cheap enough.

In comparrison, good luck finding a GT2052/GT2056 for under £100, probably closer to £200.

As for VNT's, if you were feeling brave GT2052V's tend to go between £60-£120 on a regular basis.

For reference, I bought my GT2256V brand new for under £100 posted. There are bargains to be had.
