6 spd box's are good for whatever you throw at them. 5sps are as you know, crap. Only good for 350 max if you dont abuse them.
thats handy then, as the Leons are fitted with the 6 speed box
why are the 6 speeds good for high level power and the 5 speed bad?
also the TD** turbo's, these originate from early WRX models right?
found this as well, very interesting read on the TD turbos
http://www.ztechz.net/id7.html
some very interesting points from the page too (if you can be bothered to read what I have quoted, but it's well worth a read)
Interesting read that if going down a hybrid route on a turbo, fitting a clipped and larger compressor wheel is not always a good idea. Because the compressor wheel is larger, it takes longer to spool, making it more laggy and making the turbo more peaky…
depends what you are after, but it could certianly explain the lazyness of my Hybrid gt2x and its lack of willing to spool as it should do
not sure on the comparison of spool times between a standard and hybrid gt2x though. I know Bill had some spreadsheets of another gt2x which was in standard form. Perhaps Bill could show us
anyway, the TD05 16g, with its quicker spool times looks like a nice option right now for road and light track use. The start of the surging on this graph sits outside the 3k mark, leading to decent spool up for a turbo this size
as where the graph for the gt30, a large proportion of surging sits inside the engine demand area
what I would like to see is a comparison of the gt28 and how the engine demand and surging compare to the TD05 16g, I suspect a very slightly later spool, but holding power harder and further up the range
