what size injectors are you running and I am guessing a larger TMIC would help out?drwrx wrote:The TD05-18G is a 40 lb/min turbo with a larger exhaust housing than the 35 lb/min vf43. It will spool slightly slower than a vf series turbo (about 200 RPMs or so) but will push higher boost levels through a longer rev cycle.
I am currently running an 8cm TD05-18G on my 02 Wagon at 20psi for 310 whp / 290 lb/ft.
To get the most out of the 18G you will need some fuel upgrades. Ideally you would want them for any turbo upgrade on the 2.0 as the injectors and fuel-pump just don't push enough fuel.
So how much are we looking at for the 18g?
