good evening guy's. Right what sort of power can you get out of a e 4 tub? What can you run one to? 1.6 bar? Also am i right in thinking its got a 9.5 hot side? Will a 10.5 off say a 5 fit straight on? Is the turbo it's self any smaller? Or is just a case of the hot side? And lastly is it a tdo4 or a tdo5. Thanks Nick

Turbo itself is smaller, you want a 5/6 turbo or even better a 9 turbo cos they spool so much quicker that you get the power quicker.

Swapped my mates 5 turbo for a 9 turbo and the difference was nite and day

can u just whack a nine turbo on a v then without doing anything like re-map etc?

No no no, remap will be required as it comes on boost alot sooner than the 5 turbo.

No gain in power but makes for a much more responsive car :)

ok cheers. But what's a evo 4 turbo good for? Won't be upgrading that till after the build, so power will be set by the turbo for now.

The IV turbo is a TD05 and only really reliable to just over the 360 mark.

It can be, and has been pushed further but you will be asking for trouble in my opinion.
