Custom TD03s - maybe the answer?

[Turbo_Steve]

Nope. But give me a fistful of money, and I'll try it for ya

If in doubt, there is nothing to stop you going for TD04s (proven solution) and upgarding to the VF series later: the mounts are the same.

However, if you're contemplating getting manifolds made, I'd go for Garrett flanges and have done with it. Even if you just start out with a pair of T25s (I have 4 of these knocking about) which will just replace the existing TD03s, you can upgrade to something meatier later very easily.

I wasnt lookin at custom manifolds unless i can get a set of N/A extractors and then modifying them ones, i was just gonna use adaptor plates instead....i wanna do somehtign different and the VF series sound like the goods just have to see one so i know how much bigger they are to the standard ones, i know madhavs kkr's needed modified engine mount and few other lil mods to fit his in so if these ones are bout the same size as his ill need to do the same mods obviously......t25's..............hmmmmm.........j ust dont know yet

Chances are the compressor housing is going to be bigger, so they're more likely to foul stuff.

And if you're keeping the stock manifolds, I think there is other stuff that needs "adjusting" - you'll need to have a search for posts by "valmes" who has done this.


I don't think there is an "easy" solution to getting bigger turbos on, but keeping the manifolds, drilling a hole in the mount of a TD04 or VF series subaru turbo, knocking up some custom downpipes and then moving everything out of the way..like the radiator and the firewall, possibly.

Sounds expensive hearing it like that well i just got word of a legnum being wrecked locally so gonna get the turbos to replace my busted rear one and manifolds if possible and save the upgrade for when i actually have money...but its still in the back of my mind these upgrades see how much this guy wrecking this car wants i guess

Found this while searching for turbos

However I din't find more info about these TD03L-8T but the ad says It can replace and upgrade TD03L-7T turbo without any modification

[bradc]

Interesting option, hard to know how much it would acheive though./

[Anderz]

Indeed, would be nice to get some specs for those
