i would,nt advise going for the vacuum operated (diesel) turbo belly

What would you recommend frank? I got the idea from looking at yours I thought that was vac opperated

something similar to a t2/25 is ideal, just look at what other small stock turbo'd cars are running e.g. Glanza V's use a ct9

the 1st one was vacuum, and i was trying to blow down it lol
and it depends what you,re after really, the little T15,s were manic instant boost, and ideal if you only revved to about 3k (ie, city driving), but they turned into a heatpump above 4k !
a bigger turbo gives a lot softer powerband, but they,re a hoot at 5k ish

Is that the one you had on at japfest?

aye, that,s the TD05, ex 300hp subaru wrx, so its probably only spinning at half speed, even when i,m running full chat the T15,s had a bit of shaft wear when i bought them, and got steadily worse, this one had (and still has) zero shaft wear
