You can run the TD04 on a 2.5 but IMO, you should really beef that up a wee bit to feel a real difference. VF34/35, TD05 16g, 18g or 20g are all reasonable price alternatives for you, if you really want to splash out then an MD321 (T or H cant remember which) seems to be getting rave reviews from people that have upgraded.... combines a pretty low spool without losing the ability to pull pretty big numbers.

However, you might want to think about upgrading the Injectors if you stick on one of the larger turbos as I'm not sure what the standard 440cc are capable of...... I'd be surprised if you couldnt run a VF34 or 35 on them though.

Remember also, your car will need a trip to Port Seton to take into account the larger capacity and any extras you add, so an extra few hundred to budget for.

Cheers,

Std TD 04 woould be useless on a 2.5

Most cost effective solution to get on the road would be a 2.0 short engine

If you could source a Front Entry TD05 16 through to 18g then the 2.5 route would give a worthwhile upgrade
