T04e

[mkc_1971]

OK im searching around for a bigger turbo I'm not after some stupid amount of horsepower, my goal is approx 200kw at the rear wheels.

On seach prices brands etc well i was looking around $2000 give or take . On Ebay i found a online performance shop that sells T04E brand new for under $550

Is anyone running this model turbo as i am woundering if its worth the money?

Also has anyone had Hicas problems after changing to an aftermarket steering wheel

Wassup.Do the vl turbos respond better to the hi flow?And do they straighht replace the 33 turbo in it's location.

I'd be leaning towards a second hand hks2510 or 30 for that sort of power or a second hand gcg highflow r33 turbo and sell your stock one. Either could be had for about 1500 or less.

You could also pick up a new genuine garrett turbo with your budget.

i have been running a s/h gcg highflow that i bought for 1500 for a year and a half now, total of about 60k since i've owned it and it is still in beautiful condition, no shaft play or thrust movement.

The highflow r33 turbo will also be a bolt on option as opposed to the VL turbo which will require a modified dump pipe.
