Hey guys,

Has anyone used one of these compressor covers on their TD05 20g?




It doesn't look like there's anywhere to bolt the wastegate actuator to?? Maybe i'll go external instead. Hmmmm.

Or make a bracket and bolt off the centre housing somewhere?

Actuator bracket bolts to the back of the compressor housing. Both bracket and the actuator to suit can be purchased from kando.

If you email them they can supply an actuator to fit

 

I enquired about this about a year ago

Thanks for the replies guys. Anyone know how much more these flow compared to a ported TD05H housing?

I'd be interested too, also curious on the effect on turbo lag - if any.

[evo-gsr]

The actuator setup is absolute dogshit. The attaching bracket flexes above 18psi and causes all sorts of dramas. Only way to sort it out is to run external. I still had the occasional surge with that cover too.

Solved both problems by buying a Holset!

That was on a Tdo6sl2-25g if that makes any difference.......

I had one on my old setup, we made a bracket to bolt to the back of the compressor as others have said.

anti-surge aside it will allow a lot more ait onto the compressor which is a good thing

ran this on a mates gsr along with the turbine wheel, we didnt use the internal gate as they sent us the wrong one and we were really pushed for time. end result on the car running eflex and 21 psi was 240kw atw. car comes on hard and pulls to redline. will get a pic of his dyno sheet.

Was that a 93t or a 63t Nigel?

[nigel_a]

woops forgot to mention that, was with a 63 out of an rvr. completely stock motor.

I've used a couple. The actuator mechanism from Kando is finicky, and we used the 1.7 bar spring. We achieved, with a TD06 turbine and housing, 30 psi on E85 and a stroker bottom end. The results were clear cut.. Direct comparison with the previous unported TD05 comp cover is 50 kw more at the wheels from around 3000 rpm and no real noticeable lag . The actuator assembly is mounted on the back of the comp cover and is "painful", but does work..

[evo-gsr]

I still stand by my original comments....I had nothing but trouble with mine using the Kando supplied actuator setup.

Awesome replies thanks guys. I already have issues with controlling boost over 22psi, and that's with a ports wastegate, larger flapper and split dump pipe that merges about 30cm down the front pipe. Someone mentioned that the MAC valve I am running may be the problem. Maybe i'll just bite the bullet and go external anyway- they have never let me down in the past.

[evo-gsr]

External for the win....

[MDK87]

Large wastegates aid with running low boost without spiking/creeping. If you're getting spikes over 22psi, external seems like the way to go.
