will the ihi turbo fit the car without modifying or rotating the compressor housing?
So basically you have got a used for 22k miles vf22 unrebuildable turbo for £100 which may well go pop as soon as you fit it as it might already be gone or on its way. How hard 22k miles was it? What car was it on for those 22k miles? Exhaust housing/wastegate cracked anywhere? You could have got a new and warrantied td05 16g for £500. Id put money on you having to get a new turbo at some stage.
Tig Art mani Difference between yours and HTC mani is that I believe HTC got his through JBS and so far JBS seem to be offering a warranty for them off their own back as Tig Art give nothing so if HTCs cracks he can get a new one free, when yours cracks its chuck it in the bin time.
Starting a BT build with effectively flawed parts
Nothing wrong with the vf range of turbos apart from they are not rebuildable which td series are and the td series are either the same price or slightly cheaper new. No reason to not use the td series imo. If I did it again and was going IHI I would for sure.
So when/if this vf22 goes you'll just bin it at and more cost replace it with what another vf22 or a td05? The turbo is the least of your problems with that Tig Art mani anyway tbh. Pretty much gone against all the advice from everybody in this thread. Hope it doesnt get too expensive for you as it seems money is something your trying not to spend which is not the way to do a bt set up or run it.
Well i went of HTC advice as he´s using the Type 2 manifold Which is the one i got of Beattie...
An how the hell can you comment on me not trying to spend money...ive spent nearly 800quid on Brand New 440cc Injectors,New Walbro Inline Fuel Pump,Brand New Manifold,Brand new IE Rods & wrist Pins,New Bottom End shims,gaskets ect...And im not even finished yet..
and ive onñy bought a 2nd hand Vf22 p20...isnt it the same case with buyin a 2nd hand k03s..
Im Just gettin a Price on a AFR gauge setup from BDMS and Im gonna have to look in too a Exhaust temp gauge setup..
As il need these when i get my Downpipe made up...JBS seems the Best(price) so far....
Il only be running 1.2bar(peak) of boost so i dont kill it as you´d know running loads of boost kills the Vf due to heat..
Another reason i went for the Manifold is that 1 it was brand new and was very cheap and too theres a fair few on running them on Mk4 golfs without any problems...
I know a AFR setup is around the 200 mark but i have no idea about the exhaust temp setup...
VEMS only afr gauge has the egt built in. All in one gauge I would say its the best option. There are quite a few people on here that have had them and praised them now. Mine never put a foot wrong.
I really didnt no that
gonna look in to VEMs then as seems as you said loads of people rate them lol
Im reading on Scoobynet that the Vf22 with p20 housing can produce 400bhp surely thats a complete lair....It seems its abit laggier than the vf23 but spools up 300rpm later than the vf23 but pulls to the redline...
Also My rods in my engine are defo 20mm wrist pins Correct AQX engine
Ive been offered these
81mm forge pistons
8.5:1 compression ratio ( allows more boost to be run)
