yeah that's a terrible choice of turbo for a 3 litre car...... as for oil, water lines you'd need to get them custom made

Im guessing a TD05 or TDO6 would be pretty decent though yer?

i have heard nothing but good stuff bout the TD06, the only reason i wanted to go with the td03 is ease of hooking p to intercooler etc. Quote: Originally Posted by HYBRID VL Im guessing a TD05 or TDO6 would be pretty decent though yer?

its common sense that a stock turbo from a smaller engine will be too small for a larger engine, look on the for sale forum for a good deal, hybrid t3 would be best (but thats just my opinion, im sure there's plenty better)

tdxx turbos are based on a mitsubishi design (td04 or td06), and txx turbos are garrett (like a t03 or t04). So you got a t3/t4 hybrid?

Tdo4 are standard issue on 2l wrx.. i pulled one off my 02 wrx and put on a vf22. Td04 turbo are made by mitsubishi.. and i think far to small for a vl turbo. A t03 makes a Tdo4 look like the tadpole of turbos and a T03 aint big. Get rid of the Td04. i dont think the will fit on a vlt exhaust manifold. my old Tdo4 now lives on my stepdads 2l turbo rodeo ute Tdo4=crap
