Turbos
 

Saw a post on migweb (vauxhall forum) regarding turbo choice on the c20let which is the turbo variant of the popular c20xe (redtop) engine. A guy on there was recommending grabbing a turbo off a Mitsubishi Evo - the TD05. Supposedly, not only are these way cheaper the Garretts but pack a lot of punch.

Anyway, here's the posts:

Anyone ever used these on a CA18ET?

no idea on those, but i've used std t2, t25, t3 and garret t34, unless your on a aftermarket ecu i'd steer clear of the t34, t3 is still a little laggy without managment,a t28 bb would probley be best, you need good exhaust gases to spool up, so that getting your head gasflowed by someone with a flowbench.

yeah but garretts always carry a price premium :( i mean, check this td05 out:

gotta be a good alternative to a t25/28 no? and supposedly very good bottom end spool up :)

looks ok, only thing with 2nd hand turbo's is you don't know if they are buggered untill you give the shaft a wiggle:wack and if the seals are ok until you bolt it on and fire it up, can you trust someone with a scooby lol :D

lol, good point ;)

ok, for a bit more cash...
