Wow nice TQ number! Another great job!:up:

[Joe]

Those 2.5 just bleed torque! very nice numbers btw. :up:

[RCKSTR]

Great job once again Bren :up:

Td04 on an 08? The logic escapes me

?????

2008 = TD04


Bren, that's a crap ton of tq on that turbo, must feel great for a DD :)

[WRXnate]

AWESOME! You'll have an email incoming bren for a visit from me this summer. We need to get some tweaking done

[adam]

?????

2008 = TD04




2008 = VF46

[RCKSTR]

2008 = VF46


for the wrx?

[WRXnate]

2008 WRX rocks the TD04. VF46 is a LGT turbo.

thats what I thought, Adams just used to his leggy lingo :lol:

[civic si hb]

Yeah through 2008 for the wrx is TD04 :)

[Vinyl Freaks]

sweet numbers!

[Seraphinwolf]

Yeah through 2008 for the wrx is puny, tiny, minisculeTD04 :)

Fixed it. ;)
Great numbers Christine! The torque is what matters anyways not the HP.

[AExiOn]

Very nice power curve!


TORQUE!

[02bugeyeoutback]

nice:up:

[BG @ BrenTuning]

This boost is not recommended on stock tmic BTW ! :)

[Diztracted]

Thanks again Brennn... Now I know why you get such great reviews :)

Much better numbers than I expected with my lil mini turbo :lol: ... and my car runs so much more smoothly now

See you again soon.... as soon as I find a new turrbo! :D

[subaru_crazy]

:eek: thats alot of torque.

[itsmy04wrx]

Nice numbers Christine! Bren is one hell of a tuner :up:

[squeethebee]

Way higher then I was thinking you would hit, great job!

ed

[Psychoreo]

Christine, you shouldn't be using a FMIC with such a small turbo. :hide:


Lol j/k!! Great numbers and maybe this will keep you satasfied long enough to find your ideal turbo :)

[SicRedGt]

TD04's put out some great numbers on other cars as well. Torque IS where it is at.........still thinking of that new turbo now?

Yeah HP is nice but TQ is what brings the fun factor into play :)

[Diztracted]

Yeees... Currently turbo hunting.. Will have one soon :)

We can make close to 300ft lbs on a VF52 with that fmic and hold it for most of the power band. After that torque peaks it immediately falls down steadily to redline with the TD04. It simple can't move enough air on that setup. That's with the Grimmspeed solenoid locked shut.

haha, this had me for a second, I was like tapering to 8.5 psi??? I assume because this is running a FMIC on TD04?

Contact Nick or Julie at Subaruwrxparts.com ... they can get NEW 52's at prices below anything I've seen online.

Dizzi, ck out this post on LGT.com http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/fs-swpa-vf52-turbo-low-miles-great-condition-138633p2.html

He wants alot of money for it but he may get sick of the abuse and let it go cheap.

Watch that forum everyday, VF52's up for sale there all the time.

Goooood luck.

I understand....but why did the TD04 on my Saab 9/3 HO 2.0L pull so well up high? Less displacement? That thing kicked butt over 4800 rpm. Stock, you could see the boost increase 4-5 psi after 4800.

That's all it will do, same with a Perrin TMIC car.

2L to 2.5L. Better flow heads etc.

I can get a TD04 to hold 14psi to redline on a 2L WRX.

Saab limits boost down low you should have seen full spool at 3000rpms but in that case, you'd do a nice burnout too. :lol:

08's still had td04 duh

[method]

Because it's the same turbo Subaru had been using for a while. Tried and true.

[Shuananigans]

Diz, I don't know what your power goals are, but the blouch 20g on my 04 STi is downright sinister. If you want to see what I mean I'll give you a test ride sometime. Just got it tuned yesterday with Bren and it is amazing.
