i was wondering if the vr4 turbos are the same as gto or the 3000gt.i came across these turbos

would these work on a vr4

In a word - Not without a lot of tweakery. They're certainly not a bolt-up application, though a turbo of that size/spec would be a reasonable and not too laggy upgrade for a VR4.

Have a search of the forums for details, there's several good turbo threads. :)

thanks kieran,i got happy for a bit,thought they might just bolt on to the vr4 as well.

TD04s would be the best to go for, but again not a bolt on jobby, although IIRC, a company in the US have figured out how to get the turbos of a 335d BMW(? know its a Bimma of some sort) and squeeze more power out of them, which someone then found out, they are the Mitsi TDO3 units IIRC

Someone has tried to do a hybrid turbo, but apparently a nut or wheel or something or other falls off and blows the turbo to bits

Er. Yes. I'm not sure if your description is funny or worrying :D

Whilst this is all true, unfortunately a TD03 is not the same as all TD03s, and the units created for the BMW are very different to those used in the VR4.
Which is dissapointing, but nevermind.

Something goes wrong they blow up usually ends in tears is that less funny and less worrying /pan
