Hi All
I'm contemplating upgrading the turbo on my auto MY05 Liberty GT 2.0 and would like to see around 180kwatw.
From my research so far there's not much in terms of a simple bolt on turbo for the vf38 and I''m not too keen on changing headers, up pipe, dump pipe etc by going single scroll as i'd like to keep costs down.
Spoke to GT pumps who advised that they don't have a bolt on turbo for my requirements however suggested that one possibility might be to high flow (vf34 internals) the TD04 from the manual liberty as opposed to the vf38 as the TD04 is slighlty larger (probably in the exhaust housing but not 100% sure) and it may be less restrctive to making power v's a high flowed vf38.
Searched on the forum and saw a few encouraging posts in terms of my power from a vf38 with vf34 internals however nothing on a TD04 with vf34 internals.
Anyone been down this path before or knows of someone that has?
Understand that I am splitting hairs here and if there is any benefit it will be marginal but the way i see it is I'll take that benefit if the cost is going to be the same
Current mods are:
Hyperflow TMIC
AVO dump pipe from back of turbo and 3" exhaust
Silicon intake
ECUtek tune (soon to be Matt KiDo tuned)
