TD04L Ready to fit.. Interest

[CJ_Derv]

Hey peeps im just waiting on a mate who may have a TD04L to sell to me and i have a K14 manifold and elbow, just wondering if anyone would be interested in a complete bolt on unit as i have no use for the manifold and elbow once adaptors have been drawn up.

Was looking at £200 inc postage for Ready to fit TD04L unit

Let me no and if interested il go ahead with it

i'd take it in a fortnight for 180 posted mate just to let you know my interest

[Dave]

fookin hell this is cheap, cant believe no one has bought this yet

[CJ_Derv]

Cheers dave i thought so too, ryan im afraid it would be £200 as postage is heafty as its got the manifold and elbow and plates which are additional weight but if you want for £200 let me no or even if you could pay a small deposit id save it for you as just tryin to get the TD04 atm as one i got off mate doesnt seem up to standard and dont want to sell someone a duff turbo tbh

Will this literally be taking one turbo off and fitting the new one?

correct yes its just a case of the old "wax on, wax off"


p.s cj i'll give you 32p and a pack of skittles for it

[CJ_Derv]

Pretty much yeahh it will be de-wastegated for room issues, you will need an oil line but they are £20 quid on forum and may need to tap bulkhead some havent needed to but i and other have had to but not a major job as it will come with plates sealed up ready to fit

---

Ash how bout i get my tow rope and drag you down main road have experience in that cos im allergic to skittles lol

[the milkman]

guess thats a no to my offer then?

[CJ_Derv]

Haha yeah its no pal £200 and you can have another as a spare lol, wil giv u a shout wen iv got plates n then get it all bolted together and cocked at correct angles then fit it for ya

[the milkman]

well fine i'll just use my nice shinny new turbo oh whens that bosch good for? get all the moneys sorted before so can get plates oil lines ect all ready

[CJ_Derv]

Wil try get it gov modded this week pal

[the milkman]

infact im gonna piss off this thread and leave it for sales of this bargin!!
must say to anyone wondering its very cheap for no hassle!! enjoy

[Check30]

What does tap bulkhead entail sorry for all the questions just not very mechanically minded lol

[the milkman]

Basically mate there's not much room behind engine for such a big turbo and taking engine rock in to accout you just need to "tap" the bulkhead in abit for extra room, no damage and doesn't affect anything just more space by afew cm or so

[Check30]

Baaahaha feel stupid now im interested so will let you know defiantly tomorrow

[the milkman]

Hahah its defo worth it mate!! I've bought all separate and this worked out cheaper and a lot less hassle!! Perfect for quick and easy change over stress free

[Check30]

I need it as easy as possible just bought Bosch pump as well so might do it all at the same time need to work on the mrs first lol

[the milkman]

Might aswel spend a day/2 getting it all done at once instead of stripping car down twice if you ask me plus this way loads of boost

[Check30]

Yea good shout ive only got standard intercooler at the moment tho need more money

[the milkman]

hmmmmm i dont think running a td04 on top mount is best idea, but to be fair not known anyone to do it? could always get it so you dont miss out with it being cheap and easy then run low boost till you get fmic? can get them cheap enough now. think i got a spare somewhere tbh you could have cheap?

[4WayDiablo]

Well if you keep the TD04 in its efficiency then you don't need a fmic :-) tmic is just fine in some cases as long as its efficient then it won't get that hot :-)

Its not all about getting the psi maxed. My T2 @32 psi is slower than it at 26-28 psi

[the milkman]

well there you have it! a phil knows his stuff ALOT more than i ever will lol

I have a TD04 on top mount and its fine.

[Check30]

Like i said il see what the mrs says and if all is good inwill get it so i dont miss out because of the price

[the milkman]

no cooling problems with it jake?

[Jake]

no cooling problems with it jake?

Nope none at all .

[CJ_Derv]

TD04s are fine on a top mount if mine didnt have a FMIC slready fitted when i bought it id have stayed TMIC

[darrenjlobb]

Any turbo will work with a topmount and to some degree the bigger the turbo the better it will....but either way, any blower will still suffer on these motors if you drive hard...Even a VNT running really effeiciantly WILL heatsoak if you drive it hard and loose some of its edge...water meths is just as effective if not more so than a fmic though which is another option, but you loose the crisp burn when they get hot thats for sure...

[Mattcheese31]

i'll be running mine on a top mount so meh . .

[CJ_Derv]

How easy is it to make your own water meth kit darren or should i just buy a kit?
