B4 Twin Turbo vs Twin Scroll Turbo

[quash27]

I have a b4 1999 twin turbo and was wondering if i swapped it for a Twin Scroll Turbo would it be compatible with the existing engine and if there would be much of a performance boost, (mostly interested in HP performance)?

[mattapo]

um, twin scroll and twin turbo are nothing alike, well apart from being turbo

[Joker]

you'd need a TS sump + headers + uppipe + downpie.... maybe more

is essentailly a single turbo conversion with extra hassel

[quash27]

would there be any boost in hp performance that would be worth the hassle tho... im guessing no one knows... if i do it il tell you how it goes

Also new ECU for single turbo conversion. Yes you will probably get a heap more power, also more tuneable and controllable.

Its better than the std TT setup for sure

Its compatible if you get the right parts.

It would not be cheap

also I am yet to learn if they are really better but a simple TD05 will do the same trick with slightly less work (or comparable VFseries turbo)

not sure why you are hooked on twinscroll

Its better because it will spool faster and you will have more low down torque. Which might be useful as that model is pretty heavy at around 1500kg.

If its worth the extra cost is a different question

i knew someone that had a twinscroll setup in his BG5 and i had a vf23, yes his did spool more but we didnt notice a huge difference in power for the amount of money that he had spent

[hijacka]

It would be heaps easier and cheaper to source a td05 single turbo setup than a twin scroll setup as others have said..

but if your really hooked on a twin scroll idea, i have a vf38 currently on the rebuild...was going to use it on a twin turbo setup along side a vf22 when ive upgraded the engine etc.. but im honestly quite happy daily driving the old bf with a td05h at the mo and i need cash$$$..so if you want it pm. cheers

my advice? if you really want to do this, spend the coin, do it once and do it right.

or buy a single turbo car

cheers
