Thread: Turbo Rebuild Limited Td5

I had about 20,000Km trouble free driving on my CHRA when I sold my D2. The new owner then drove it from Perth to Melbourne AFAIK he had no issues either.

My D2 was a manual and you could definitely feel it come on boost much earlier, especially in low range. Much better low down torque compared to standard using my arse dyno.

Definitely worth the money IMHO.

Yep mine is still going strong and yes you do notice the torque at take off and in low range is so much better .
I still highly recommend this

thanks for your replies, it's always really valuable to get peoples thoughts and perspectives on mods a few years after the fact.

I'm seriously looking into it, should complement the 4.11 gears on my defender nicely and restore some of the oomph I've lost with the 35" tyres.

Mine is on the bench in the shed waiting to be put in.
Doing a fair bit of work over the next couple of weeks to the defender.
New radiator, intercooler, CHRA, dewebbed manifold, engine mounts etc.
Hoping with the CHRA and bigger intercooler i get a bit more power.
I ve got a Td5Inside map is it worth getting this tweaked again? once tbe CHRA and bigger intercooler are in.

Realistically, whilst the new turbo will definitely feel a bit nicer to drive, the ecu tune will have enough leeway to basically make use of the different air flow amounts to a reasonable degree, of course there is a little more to be gained if you want, but it is certainly in no way necessary.

Bought an upgraded CHRA turbo from turbo rebuild UK on Sunday arrived inTas today!

Wonder why then it takes so long to get stuff from Sydney n Melbourne?

Arrived without the syringe. .but no big deal as everything else was there and well packed too. Probably confiscated by Border Farse☺

Wonder what difference it will make bearing in mind that since fitting the Ford Bosch fuel reg the car is going like stink and it already has a new late model genuine turbo fitted running at 18 - 19 psi?

We'll see...😎
