    Best Turbo Setup

    Hi Guys,

    I was just wondering what you consider the best turbo setup, i.e. whats the most fun???
    I've gone from 9b - 11g - 15g and wondering where to go now. Interested to hear your thoughts, single, TD04 or not etc etc.

    cheers,
    Ewam

    There really is no 'best turbo setup', it is a relative term.

    Some factors that may go into your turbo decision:
    Budget
    Plans for the car - Drag only? AutoX? Road Racing? Daily driving? All four?

    A lot of the guys who have been around for a while usually recommend TD04's for fun on the street. Most notably, DR750's.

    Hi guys,

    Thanks for your replies, so are you all running 19T's? I didn't realise that they were that popular. What type of driving do you do with them, drag, street, track etc? I from the results I've seen there isn't a great gain going to 19T from 15g...

    cheers,
    Ewan

    Hi, thanks for your replies, my questions were generic, and more directed at those who have changed turbos multiple times. I havn't been in a car faster than my own, so how can I set a power goal? I run road fuel on the road, but have been known to use race gas for the track, but again generic question for those who have ran different turbos. e.g. 16g / T3 or T3/T4 or DR... My car is multi purpose, road and track, so the turbo has to do both.
    My thoughts were 9b's not very interesting, except good initial pull, 11g's were a good allround bpu turbo, I had 15g's fitted with a standalone etc and they were a bit boring as it was such a smooth power delivery...
