SG5 Turbo

[Maverick14]

Hi all,

I\'m looking at replacing the TD04 turbo on my SG5 cross sport in the next month or so. Its making some weird noises when coming on boost, seems down in power etc. Stubaru in CHCH has had a look at it and thinks the internals might need some \'freshening\' up.... bugger that for the price he said it would cost. A TD04 can be had for a couple of hundy.

I\'ve got a boost gauge on its way to see what it is actually chucking out for pressure. I suspect it is way down on boost. There are no boost leaks etc.

I\'ll try and go for a drive this weekend with the gopro and post the video so you guys can hear the noises etc. and see what you think might be causing the issue. The only other thing I can think of is an issue with the up pipe or down pipe.

One question I have though... is the TD04 my only option, is there a similar VF series turbo I can use without any (or few) mods? I\'m not wanting to change injectors, fuel pump etc... Also, are all TD04s the same? Should I be looking at a certain model or off a certain vehicle?

Thanks,

Scott

Is it the twin scroll td04? If so, second hand twinscroll stuff is hard to find and costs moonbeams.

If single scroll, grab an STI turbo (vf30/34 or similar), bolt it up, reflash ecu and win
