good upgrade for primary turbo?

[zarnah]

hi all, got my newest toy yesterday (damn Im getting a few cars parked on my drive now lol) , 1994 rs legacy, 127,000kms, manual, stock standard. Only problem with it is that I think the primary turbo is on its way out, can hear it doesnt sound to healthy when I turn the car off and its winding down. Whats a good straight bolt on replacement? any of the newer b4 primarys a good choice? newby to the whole twin turbo thing here....

[nt_a_foz]

rich farmers ay hahah...my olds who farmers reckon its tough times..

Mustnt be down south ay hahah...

Sorry no help on twin turbo....dont do twin turbo subis lol

[zarnah]

Theres an ad in the for sale section for someone selling TT turbos. Theres bound to be a suitable one on Trademe too... Theres sh*tloads of the things around as the engines are always dying!

Are you calling those of us who drive single turbo'ed TT's "boyracer dumbasses"?? Or just the ones that pay big dollars to buy one?

Nah just figured a boy racer would pay big $$$ for one solving both the multi car problem and the money one, not trying to put anyone down. Personally I love the singled TT's especially after going in Reuben's GTB a couple of days ago ;D

EDIT:And yes you gotta be a dumbass to pay big dollars for a 15yr old car these days :

Depends on the car of course.

I'm just being an ass anyway as I too hope that I can sell my GTB for a healthy profit one day soon ;D

Hey, I had a VF31 put on my 1997 GTB for the primary - apparently these are off a B4 up wards model, straight bolt in and seems a hell of a lot peppier than the previous item, boost comes on really early which is awesome! I did have a moan about it when it was first put on because it barely worked lol but after a few km's had gone by she was away! (it was a brand spanker from Subby NZ - must be a run in period perhaps?)

[zarnah]

vf31, hmm the only "actual" answer so far cheers hailz, i assume your're from ashburton? what do you drive?

[Bazza-NZ]

I have a VF13 you can buy, $40 plus postage, that will work ;D

that way once it blows you have a replacement turbo to put on

What's the estimated life on these primary's, Mines done just over 210k so far.

[Durty-Sanchez]

Pretty much any primary turbo from the TT range will fit on - the newer the better. The primarys start to whine after a while, had a new one put on mine (warranty) and it was whining within 50,000kms. I'd start looking for a replacement one from one of the newer TT's, but I wouldn't swap it until it fully dies (if it does)

VF26 is the better TT turbo (primary) side...
