SL2R is probably the best Green wheel you can get. Use the 9 blade version. Next you will need to pick a 20G wheel. There's probably 50 variations to pick from. Lol

 

Yeah, I'll have to do a little more research into these before I buy one. I've just rebuilt my TD05-16G standard turbo but he'll be restricting the engine past 380hp. I've found some great condition Evo 9 FQ360 rods and pistons that came out of a standard engine and they are in great condition going for $187. I'm going to grab them, some new rings and shell bearings and use them. Then i should be good for all of what you guys are saying above once I've got the other supporting mods. Plus then, I can keep the pistons and get matching rods if I see fit later on down the road.

Anything else I need or should get?

EDIT: I've been looking at this turbo for a while now. Would this be adequate? - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263024026402

 

Don't get 25G. They don't make much more power than 20G but have crazy lag. You will hate that turbo.

Also, who will install your pistons & rods and make sure all clearances are done right?

 

Not to mention that kinugawa turbos are pretty crap 😂 no, wouldn't touch that with a barge pole. I was thinking about keeping my standard TD05 but chucking a 20G wheel and anti surge housing on it and then getting a 9 blade TD06 turbine.

Also, I'll be building the engine myself with the help of a mechanic I know who has all the tools and the knowledge who is also willing to teach me.

Should be fun!

 

I will be testing TD05 20G soon. Then TD06SL2R 20G next. I just need to sell my Red so I don't keep using my credit cards to pay for everything.

 

Oh keep me updated. Be interesting to see what you think of the 20G. Thanks

 

Just wondering. Did you guys ever test TD06SL2R with 20G compressor wheel?

 

None of the off brand bolt on stuff spools up quick or makes great numbers.

Save the money, buy a new FP green/red/black. Proven.

Plenty of cars with other bolt on turbos are 500-1000rpm late compared to the FP, then lay over earlier. Why lose twice.
