Hi i need a new turbo asap and dont really have time to read through all these pages but basically does any of the TD06 turbos bolt to the stock R33 dump pipe? I noticed on Kandos ebaystore they had one that does seem to, it says it uses a stage 3 turbine does anyone have that turbo or know anything about it? I'm really only wanting 250ish rwkw with good responce and was considering a hypergear hi flow as i have a op6 housing sitting around but i just discovered this thread so am now confused which way to go, please help.

The kando highflow is not tried and tested yet, but is the only one in their range which will bolt up.

Your best bet is to send your shagged turbo to hypergear and get someone that many people have bought and know its good.


Bear in mind you cant just slap the thing on and wham get 250kw. You will need an ecu and the rest of the supporting mods.

Correct. A TD06SL2 20G is the weapon of choice if you want to go that way. It has been done and 260 was easily hit on 98 by 2 members... 300 when running E85 with supporting mods.


Bear in mind that requires an external wastegate also, which will need to be plumbed off either the exhaust manifold or exhaust housing. Despite the turbo being $700 odd you should budget up to $2,000.

In light of the above 250kw is arguably better attained from a <$1,000 hypergear 2IU 'standard highflow'. Have a read of the HG thread and you will find user reviews from people who have put them on near stock cars to people who are using them in track cars, good reliable option which will bolt straight back onto the car without further modification (other than EFI type supporting mods as mentioned prior).

Please read the many threads the forum has, you will be able to form your own opinion on where you want to go from there.

I second this....

Yes, it is a hybrid TD06SL2 with his billet 71 and 74mm wheels.

Again you still need to budget at least 2k to have it on the motor, and the above 300 supporting mods are arguably a lot more difficult than the those for 250 (need to move to E85, external gate, so on and so forth).

I know people who have done ~300kw @ hubs from stock EVO 9 turbos as well, as well as EVO3 16Gs with the bigger comp and turbine housings. We are going the non-EVO fit EVO3 spec 16G with 8cm housing so I'm picking we'll be able to make some decent power. The car only has a 2.5bar sensor so we can't get too carried away with boost, but I am sure we'll still get OK results :)

tractor SR's are a long way from 4g63's though.

Absolutely, we're not expecting magic. The old PE1420 delivered all that was needed of it - so as long as the 16G at least matches it's flow (no doubt it won't match it's response) it will be considered a success. Turbo is ordered, hoping it will be here next week :)

Don't break my heart :(

    • If your current chain of thought is, I'll go somewhere like pick and payless (or equivalent) and causally remove the bit of roof with your BYO grinder then casually weld that into your car... oof. It might sound easy but you will 100% end up with a warped roof. You say you'd prefer some ugly fab work, but I don't know if your prepared for how ugly this will be lol.  I've seen professional welders do similar but easier repairs and still end up with warped panels.  It is reasonable to assume that from your current skill level, you won't be able to do this cut and paste job while keeping flat panels.  Ok, but we are here to learn. This might be the go... jump on car sales, sort by price, buy the cheapest thing with rego and drive it home. This is your new practice vehicle. If you're thinking of doing the cut and paste job, try it on this car. Cut out the panel (hey it's a perfect fit) weld in the panel. See what you think of the results.  Next thing you could try, practice removing the entire roof in one piece by drilling out all the spot welds etc. Have a crack and welding the roof back on.   
    • I've never welded but I own a welder and I've always wanted to learn. In fact I had already looked at a 1 day welding course in Sydney.  I'd prefer some ugly metal fab than anything weak.  I'm challenging myself a lot with this car. For so many years I've just paid other people to do things and I've always been keen to learn and get better.
    • Ok, thats a good starting point.  So before we start.... do you mind if the car say isn't a strong as it was before? My first thought is go excavating for rust. You'll be left with a gaping hole, that will be filled with fiberglass. You could make it look factory pretty easily but yeah, if you never crash it will never be an issue right? Before we look at other options, how confident are you welding? 
    • Oh this is my 1998 E39 5 series. It's worth more to me than financial value. It's a project car for me to love and work on without fear of f**king up something that has lots of value or that I need to keep running.
    • I'm super realistic here. I love the car and want to keep it but I know it's days of perfect condition are well and truly over. I just want a fix that won't come back.
