depending on the trim both do similar jobs, on Rb20 i prefer to use the TD06S-L2-20g (remmeber L2) as it gives the best balance between response and top end. Expect 240-270rkw depending on mods and full boost 1.3bar by 4000-4300.

Forget any other TD06 on there unless you are after big numbers the TD06sh-25g is too big and the TD06S-19c is too small.

Sorry for hijack, but it's on topic.

I thought the TD06 was a journal bearing, and the Garrett's are Ball Bearing.

Would you get extra performance, durability, driveability, blah, blah from the ball bearing model?

marketing hype and nothing else. I sell garret, hks, trust etc and honestley my best advice is to buy a turbo based on its trim and result not the information contained in glossy brochures.

i had a TD06-20g on a rb25 track car that was over 12yrs old that is still going strong.

Yes Roy has an TD06-20g (8cm) on his RB20.

the vid in my sig is how it behaves..

I have put a TD06 20g 8cm on my r32 recently too. Low mount, internal gate, makes 252rwkw on 18psi.

With regards to which one is better i say the TD06 is about the best thing for a std RB20. A GT3071 is close, from there its really the bolt on convenience of a 2530 etc. So have to question whether the price of the greddy manifold, gate, turbo labour etc etc is worth the extra 30-40rwkws you will get.

The 2530 will have a bit more grunt down low, but when i say a bit i mean a bit, you perhaps trade off 10-15 rwkws at 4,000rpm as the RB20 doesnt seem to want to make power below 4,300rpm no matter what turbo you put on it

So which is better, hard to say, one is more expensive and very illegal, the other is cheaper and can scrape through a roadside inspection
