K03s/td04/t25 depends on how much power you want

How much are you looking to spend and how much power are you after? A not to bad a start is a turbo off a petrol engine of the same output your looking to get. For a given output engines will flow similar ish ( very ruff ) amounts of air. You go for a petrol one as petrol engines exhaust are much hotter and corrosive then diesels.

As said above, the type of flange you have used on the mani will determine the type of turbo that will fit it.

I can't get any photos up but it's a rectangle flange

T25/T3/T4 are all rectangle.

What is the rest of your setup? And what kind of BHP are you aiming for?

In their excitement to post the word "turbo" on an internet forum, does no one search any more? This saddens me :(

Standing up for ross he aint a knob, and when will people be able to write english correctly??

Why are you calling a super mod a knob? Hes going to the forum rules... As we all have to but idiots that wanna get "noticed" and think its cool to ask pointless crap thats been asked many many times before...

This question is asked every 5 minutes to be honest, yet there doesn't seem to be that many turbo builds coming to fruition?

If you searched, you wouldn't have needed to ask the same question that gets asked every 5 minutes would you.

If I was "being a knob" trust me you'd know about it.

You clearly haven't researched very deeply into turboing these engines. Define "best" for example.

How about I say a tial based 2876 garrett? Oh yeah, it's £1,400 quid. Ok, so now you want best and cheap. How about a gt17? But wait, you want 300hp...

Post a sensible question, and you'll get a sensible answer from those who know about the subject. There's a few here who do...

Surprise surprise the "repeated" questions get answered less and less by the experienced members as they've answered them so many times. Hell, there's even a sticky on the subject.

That a less "knob like" reply for you sweetcheeks?
