Which Turbo??

[CJ_Derv]

K14 is the "biggest" turbo...

IMO it'll produce the most power on an XUD... For the best compromise between response and power, the T2 is generally accepted as the best turbo... Also because of the wastegate design, it's easier to eliminate creep at high pressures...

I personally wouldn't change one for the other, the advantages of one or the other barely outweigh the ballache of changing it... If it possibly has shaft play, I wouldn't bother, you'll kick yourself if you blow it... As said, I made 146shp and 250flb.ft with a K14....

There's other restrictions on these engines that need fixing before instantly branding a turbocharger as "shit" like some people do...

Cheers Ruan i think im going to stick with the K14 as should only be a month or so til get a TD04 or equiv sorted

I think ive eliminated the possibility of a hose leak as nipped intake bolts a tad without being able to get my stupidly huge forarms behind the engine until this weekend. i would imagine there would be significant signs from a leak ie slight oil slick etc

But will be sticking with K14 have got MBC on now so should be all good with new gasket aslike mentioned pulled reasonably well at 28psi til i heard the manifold go a bit then bellowed black out so backed off at 4k lol
