Was ridiculous, instant spool, stupid amount of torque
Lifted my head, ruined a clutch and ran out of puff fairly early in the rev range compared to a td04
Look at Tom's post again, This is what these early spooling turbo's do. With supporting modifications then you can just about keep them under wraps.
What turbo you go for is completely down to how you drive. I prefer early spool with decent torque, with no need to go over 4k (ish). That's what I have now and apart from a few niggles (typical VNT) I'm quite happy with it.
Others will want the other end of the scale which is to push the revs right round to 6k and have a turbo to support this....namely a td04?, etc.
As Ruan said (and I completely agree with) 2052 would be ideal for a daily drive around...or a new style gt17 i would be happy with, though if you are pushing for power you will need to have some mechanical sympathy or uprate a few bits.
My 2p anyways.
