TD06 16g? Good or Bad?

[93_tsi_fwd]

Is a TD06 16g good or bad, or a TD05 17c?

I have a TD05 16g and a TD06 17c turbo. is there anyway I can make 1 badass turbo out of these 2?

TD06 16g = direct bolt on + T3/T4 turbine housing + externally gated

TD05 17c = some machine work needed + 7cm housing + interanally gated

Whats a good combo?

or

its not worth the time doing?

I think you answered you question with the second half...

- A 16G compressor doesn't generate enough airflow to prompt a TD06 turbine....about all you'll gain there is lag.

- A 17C compressor doesn't flow as much at high boost levels as the 16G wheel.


Lots of R&D went into the design of each of those turbos. Don't take offense, but you're not going to come up with anything better on your own.

how about switching the compressor cover. The 17c cover fits perfectly onto the 16g.

find yourself a nice 6cm exhaust housing. have it machined for tdo6 wheel. most any turbo shop can do this for about 50-75. results are a 17c turbo that will spool super fast and kick butt on that 16g. you will need to make custom waste gate mount as well.
