My poor little 15g has probably given its best 2 sundays ago at Avon when it helped the T5-R to our all time best of 14.52 for the 1/4. With York looming and a few other mods and tweeks to do, I thought a turbo change could be on the cards. So I thought I just ask what currently, forum meembers might have avialiable and what sort of price there looking for ? Thinking that 16 or 18 T would be tops as I worry a 19T could damage it and I don't want to go too mad at this stage, if you see what I mean.

I don't think you'll get a better time with any other td04 Turbo

A 16T or 18T are both capable of breaking it if you're not careful. Congrats on the time!

Ide personally go with a 16t I was quite shocked at how well it pulled on munsters car when we swaped the 15g the 16t pulls alot harder for longer and thats with a standard map on

they do on standard maps but remapped there aint much difference in 1/4 mile times

Looks like there's 2 possible moves forward, the first would be to improve the induction with a R.I.P and 3" TB and fit the Jap exhaust, ported to give better flow and second improve the mixture a bit, buy dumping the orange injectors and popping some blues in, which I probably should do any way, as with the map it's probably a bit lean top end to be fair.
What about an 18t chaps ? good idea. Pete liked munsters 16t so what difference would a 18t give ?
Could still steal the 19t off of Jayneybabes V70R ( she might notice the bonnet up for a while though and get excited that I'm fixing her broken gearbox )
What do you all think should be the next moves ?

I have the 18t and its brilliant but as I found out one wrong move and tappery tap

I loved my 18t T5R, made a big improvement top end. DO IT ;)
Post 597673 by merc85 on 2013-04-18 00:01:23
16 T VERY UNDER RATED , 18t is more top end , i think especially cost wise and readily available option go 16t

Could be a noisey ride home from york then, I do get a bit competitive...lol.....tappery tap

Its very tempting and I'm sure its the top end where I'm losing out

But if the cost is not the ruling factor, which would you run ?

You won't go any quicker on the quarter mile with a 16t or 18t mate you don't get to get to top end power on the strip, my s70r last time at Avon got a 14.5 with a 19t

At what boost? 10psi won't do it, I ran 18 on a standard map before

19t's have a stiffer actuator on than the rest of the range so stock boost via the BCS will be higher. Can't remember what boost Paul was running, but it was MBC'd
Post 597726 by T5frankie on 2013-04-18 11:11:30
Well I made 298bhp on a standard map with a 19t and mbc so it's possible in an 850 to get a 13.9, my best time was done with a passenger in at Santa pod
