ebay td05 intercooler kit install

Post by 94legacyturboawd »

I was just wondering if this kit would fit my 94 ss 2.2 without any major butchering, or what kits/ turbo/ intercooler setup should I look for to make this install painless as possible

linky?

After going the full route of intercoolers, the 06-on WRX/foresterintercooler is by far the best size and location mounting for our cars.

Unless you go FMIC.

Read up in the intercooling sections.

I'm not sure about that turbo. Maybe others have heard of that company, but it's definitely not one that stands out as a well-known one to me.

You can find a nice, used TD05 16G for ~$300. And an e-bay intercooler piping kit can be had for $250.

So basically they're asking you to pay an extra $450 that you don't need to spend. Just my opinion...

That's not the -16G you want, either, it has a straight inlet, which is a giant PITA on our cars... You need the older one with the 90-deg. inlet elbow for creamy bolt-in goodness.

Besides, anyone who's trying to sell "Bolt-on 400 WHP" is either fulla shit, or just doesn't know WTF they're talking about.

I appreciate the info I didnt think that was such a good deal. Nor did I know the quality of the manufacturer, what should I look for in a td05 or td04 turbo/ intercooler/ pipng kit?

That turbo looks like a Chinese knock-off. If it were $200 I would throw it on my car and give it a try, but it costs almost as much as a real 16g from someone like Deadbolt or FP. I got my intercooler from ETDMotors and they were quick to ship it and pretty reputable. There was a bit of hassle about 1 issues I had, but it seems to be worked out.

+1 with trying it out if it was CHEAP.

My friends had problems with chinese/ebay t3/t4's smoking after a month or 2 of use & stopped buying them, I have a feeling these will have similar problems.

The TD05 on my OBS-T is 16 years old (off a '92 GVR4) & is still boosting with no problems.
