Turbo lag is not greatly reduced, it is eliminated. My D2a has 10psi on take off straight off idle and 17psi by 1,500rpm.Quote:

Otherwise hybrid will go and replaced with VVT
What is a good VVT worth for a D2a TD5 anyway? Can it just be bolted straight in?

Steve223, as I said before, I will be very interested if the BD turbo works as you'd like it (is my cynicism showing through) for the technical reasons given and because of my doubts about BD's expertise with them. I am happy to be proven wrong however.
My Bell Autos VVT just bolted straight on and didn't require a remap, but I'd already had a BD remap which may be relevant.
With my manual, the turbo lag was all but eliminated. With an auto, as indicated by twr4cx, I'd expect no lag at all.
In April 2013, my Bell Autos VVT and boost box cost GBP845 plus GBP130 for Shipping and insurance from UK. Yes, mine just bolted straight on.Quote:

I tried my VVT on Defended with BD non VVT a map no better result, default TD5 map no results, Bell map yea baby flying
hm BD thinks the problem is my HD torque converter however according to Dave Ashcroft this should rather improve it then hinder.
does anyone run 34" a HD torque converter and a VVT a with success on a automatic ???
33s, HD TC and not a worry in the world :)
About $2200 seems like a reasonable price for a new turbo, but having said that I've got no idea how much a standard turbo is. I assume it is not that much different.Quote:
