An I better of having a new dump and plumbed pipe made? Or bought whatever's easier?

I prefer to have things done properly myself, I don't know much about the pipe work but gauging the last reactions I dont want something "falling off"

The problem you have is that you have a TDO5. So there are no off the shelf dumps available (or, at least, if there are they're nowhere near as common and easy to get hold of as for Hitachi turbos). Which means that you're looking at a custom dump, which just makes it that bit more expensive to get done than buying a cheapy from JJR etc.

My main complaint about the dump and screamer that you have is that the design is woeful (sharp elbow changes of direction, poor welding, what the hel is going on with that screamer just poked in the exhaust housing with no apparent fasteners!!??!!) and will negatively impact on how well the turbo works (will raise boost threshold and reduce total power by some amounts). Nicer dumps are nicer. Plus there is the risk that that screamer might fall out, depending on exactly how it is held in there!

Actually I gues it's just that pipe that needs remaking properly and plumbing into the dump?

Also for now I assume, aslong as it dosnt leak at the outlet, that welding it into the dump will even be enought to make sure it dosnt move anywhere or come away from the turbo, atleast it will be legal for the time being

I think the best way would be to buy a bellmouth dump pipe and fit it yourself. Done and done.

1. It will work

2. Split dump pipes still have that whoosh whoosh sounds with stock turbos that sounds hella ghey - bellmouth do not. Also bellmouth do not have the potential boost control issues inherent to the split dump design.

Theirs no point I. Making a new topic.

What can ya tell me about the TD05 turbo? Is it a good choice is it a bottom or top end turbo anything I should know or a thread I should be reading?

the outlet flange on that turbo is not T25 so finding a flange to bolt to the turbo is going to be the hardest part, you need to find out what bolt pattern it is and have dump pipe made

the waste gate pipe that is there now is leaking, you can tell by the soot around the pipe, and that is with no back pressure as it is a screamer, so if you just weld it into the exhaust that leak will only get worse unless you find a way of sealing it properly

Another thing you could do is rip off the TD05, sell it, replace it with a high flowed factory turbo, then use an off the shelf dump pipe, put a stock intake pipe, BOV return pipe and crankcase ventilation setup on, get it tuned again (You were talking about getting your tune looked at once you had fixed the miss fire anyway) and there ya go.

Now sounds like a lot of work, and well it is. However, it will erase the getting defected for an after market turbo part completely as you cannot tell a high flow turbo from just looking at it. And if you do ever get defected to regency for what ever reason, they wont even know you have a high flowed turbo either. However they are smart enough to pick up on the Z32 AFM, but all you simply do is remove the sticker.

That dump/screamer pipe is shocking aswell.

Just another option

It must be internally welded. There is nothing wrong with the td05 tho a td06 would be better is it kando branded? The if you wanted everything re made it will cost a few hundred the dump should be a 3 bolt flange. I would get the screemer cut where that angle is and put a flange there then weld the pipe to the housing that way its sealed and removable then get the screemer plumbed in from that flange back. Don't go stainless makes no difference and ends up looking like mild steel after a good serving also can hurt the pocket.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
