    Thumbs down I got TF035MH instead TD04L...

    Well, being recently on a mission for upgrade. Slowly collecting bits to carry on turbo upgrade without a hassle and for minimum cost. So quite happily got from eBay turbo described as Scubi TD04L for 50 quid. With same money for refurb kit it's a good deal.
    Today parcel received. Inside parcel... TF035MH
    I know that both turbos are almost identical in size and water/oil lines, both were fitted to Subaru, but they ARE NOT the same. IIRC, TF035 are internally smaller and max. boost reach at 14 psi. Some moron made me headache.
    I have already one TD04L and want another...

    Well guys what d'you think? Any use of TF035MH ?
    I've already send message to seller that I'm going to return this turbo based on "item not as described", but maybe you have some hints and tips regarding this turbo.
    Ex: Galant VR4
    Running 268 HP ATW and 443 Nm torque at 0.9 bar
    Now: Lancer Evolution 8 FQ-300
    Running 325 HP ATW and 510 Nm torque at 1.6 bar

    Not really - it's got plenty of resale value amongst the small engine brigade, will fit on a Volvo T4...er.....and just because it's lower pressure, doesn't mean it won't flow the same as a TD04...but yeah, I'd send it back.

    Just agreed with seller that I'm posting TF035 back.
    Still in search for td04 bargain. Also tempted with VF24 but have already one td04, so... no thanks!
