Don't Know What To Do Now

[granby]

Got myself a second hand TD05 18G turbo in excellent condition the other day (only done 3000 miles, originally supplied by Zen performance) with the intention of fitting it to my car but now i'm having second thoughts, will it be to much for my gearbox & engine or will i be OK, i just don't know what to do

Reading what others have said about when WRX engines and boxes give up, I'd be reluctant to fit it.

But the devil in me says 'DO IT!!!!!!!'

When my car was uprated, it was fitted with an 18G turbo. I have had no problems at all on my '97 Classic, which still has the original gearbox, so I would say go for it! I have been informed that the original gearboxes are good for about 340bhp (at the flywheel) before they starting lunching themselves?

not sure why it wont work, but if you go on ebay, type in td05 turbo, they do them for £169 brand new, if you fit it do you have to make any other alterations to car or add any other mods???

[dunks]

The way you drive you would have nothing to worry about id fit it if i was you with all the money you have get yourself a six speed box as well

Honest me and Dazzler wont leave you too far behind

[20withascooby]

doubt htats a 18g for that price though

[tony_cousins]

Fit it mate but expect a new gearbox in the new future

Many experts who i have spoken to in the last few weeks say the new age gearbox can take 350ft torg before they are on there limit. I am doing the same but allowing for it to let go but a replacement gearbox starts from £1800 for a sti box or up to £5000 for a ppg gear set !!!!!!!

But in the pursuit of power you got to give and take just remember that after 400bhp drivability suffers !!!!!!!!!

Sell the turbo, save a few penny's and get yourself the new STI. I was talking with Collin (owner of Waldenways) and looking over his new STI, it was out on the road on Thursday and drives very nicely. The PPP car is up and running so the conversion will be available shortly. You know you want one and as The Reginal Organiser you should be the first to get one. Bag's first ride.

Don't think thats gonna happen, 25k for the STi + at least another 2k for the recaro seats & decent wheels package, then say 2k for ppp to get it to a decent level

Have a cht with Mother Theresa, he has been in this situation before. He is running about 380 on a wagon, dont know what he has done internally though. If you decide to fit it and you currently have an uprated turbo already fittted i would be interested in buying it off you

[turbo2000wagon]

Fit it..you know you want to!

I have an 18g running 1.4 bar on my stock internal engine/gearbox 99 Turbo 2000 mapped by Simon at Jolly Green Monster with no problems.

It does have a fair bit more thrust than the 16g with hardly any more lag.
