bump

it doesn't really matter afaik. its a convenience option depending on where you wish to run your WG exit pipe. I would prefer a Top mounted WG as it makes it easier to access and looks pretty.

how much are you paying for it? You really should consider a Garrett GT series turbo from them really, the technology is newer and the turbo is ultimately better!

[liamdavies]

£1370 for td06 and £1550 for garret gt3071 postage included, little worried about the gt3071 because i dont have forged engine .

What about the GT28RS?

I would pay the extra for the 3071r

Your not going to kill your engine just by fitting it. Its all down to the mapping at the end of the day. A poor map could kill a forged engine on a CT20b if the map was out that much!!

i think the hightest BHP for stock internals is around 450-475 fwbhp now, which is the upper end of a 3071r.

Tbh i dont know much about the Td06 turbo, but what i do know is they are dated compared to the Garrett GT range. if the 3071r is the equilivant,then im prob safe in saying that you could prob run the 3071r at a lower boost pressure and still get the same torque/bhp and faster spool over the td06.

Also, remember, a forged engine technically ,at its cheapest option, is just a set of pistons, a re-bore if required,hone and gasket set!

hi mate i have a td05 on my car currently and im looking at upgrade to a 3071 in near future thats the one id go instead of the td06 and im running standard rev 3 engine in mine same as you

[liamdavies]

is a gt3071r the same as a gt3071 ,it doesnt show the r on the atsracing web page!,

[RyanRs]

Yes. its a Garret GT3071r You will need to decide which exhaust housing 'A/R'you want.. Smaller gives spool over top end power and bigger gives more top end over spool... but being as the 3071r is not that big a turbo anyway, i would prob go for a larger housing.

[liamdavies]

sorry but i cant see that option on the page

Hi Liam

If you are going to go down the TD06 route, have a look at these guys http://www.mvpmotorsports.com/merchant/mr2.shtml# just about the cheepest Greddy Kit I have ever seen

Hi

The MVP Td06 are internally gated. These units tend to boost creep really badly. That's why the ATs kits have been converted to run a external wastegate to eliminate the boost creep problem.

I have a ATS TD06 on my rev 3. Cracking turbo, but many regard the Gt3071 as better. I only went for the TD06 as i got it for a good price 2nd hand.

Just off the 0.8 bar actuator spring the TD06 makes 300 fwbhp @ SRR.
1.0 bar is around 350 fwbhp.

I am not sure how those numbers fair against a Gt3071 ?

his name most probably has been hidden to prevent you from purchasing from him. many users might have had trouble in the past with this seller?

[RyanRs]

Give ats a call and ask about AR options and what they recomend. I say ring them as they can take a while to reply to emails.. PM on mr2oc is usually better.

Good to know mate, thanks for that

I don't think it is blocked due to poor customer service, never heard a bad review in that respect. I've got one of his GT3076 kits on my car, seems to work well.
