Dang dude... you spent the money on port matching and bought a cheap head gasket? WTF? AND a TD04?

Didn't you have a VF34?

Funny thing is... I have the turbo that would match that motor perfectly... 18g xt and no motor... you have the motor and no turbo. LOL!

 

these gaskets are tough man! i love my td04! hahah

i had a vf34 at one point but sold it due to my first motor seizing over!

 

 

Man I'd kill to have something different than my td04 but I fear putting my 18g on my motor because my motor will die. Instantly. Instant death.

Shoulda sold me that VF34 and Idda hooked you up with my 18g. LOL!

I'm sure the TD04 spools up like nobody's business but it's gotta run out of breath really quick too. I'm not a big number dyno ***** but a turbo that's a low AND mid range beast would be nice. You're way under where you could be with even a small upgrade.

 

280-300whp on a stock td04 is fine with me.. all i care about is low end toqrue at this point.. but your right with the upgrade part. but then again i do own a 02-03 tranny and the combo just doesnt work! unless i buy a 6spd :X

 

No way. Unless you are on an extremely high reading dyno.
