Would you buy a TDO6 Turbo kit......., For 3SGTE Options

[0Re0]

Used TDO6 17c turbo, adapter plate, manifold(bored out) down pipe, fits 5SFE or 3SGTE.... all custom now....tested up to 24 PSI

Would you buy the kit for $700 ?

$700's not a bad price, but I'm not sure about the 17C turbo. Its between a small 16G and big 16G in size - which is a good thing. Pry 500CFM of flow at 15PSI. But the 16G's use the tD05 exhaust housings which are smaller and spool quicker. TD06 will give you more flow, but more lag.

I have a td05-14B on my FWD celica and it spools fairly quickly. Once I hit the 3500 rpm range, it seems like a totally different car - the boost comes on so strong that the 4000 - 7000 rpm range is a blur.

I have a td06-20G on my all-trac. Spool hits a little later - 4700 rpm or so, but then it pulls really hard to red-line. Definately more power, but not as quick.

The 16G is probably the best ballance for a street car. If the 17C is comparible, it'll be a fun ride.

FYI - I made an adapter for the stock manifod for $70 using 2 flanges and a piece of 2.5" pipe welded together. Bought the 14B for $100 and the O2 housing for $120. The rest of the downpipe was a 2.5" long elbow and 2 flanges - $50 welded. Custom oil lines are another $100 or so.
