That is what I'm curious about. Would the TTE420 make a good road car turbo with good punch and spool characteristics compared to the standard KO4? And it does suffer the same surging at 3000rpm @ 24psi that the K04 does?
The KO4 is OK, but I can't help thinking there a better turbos out there for a road going MK5 now that technology has improved. And they don't seem to last long when running way over standard boost pressure.

There is no surge on the 420 at all, its an absolute brilliant drivable turbo for daily and road. You won't go wrong and seeing other turbos on the market and having first hand experience in stripping them down to investigate the TTE is one of the if not THE best on the market imho.

NF Octane Booster
It's a South African product and it claims to increase 95 RON petrol to 103-106 RON. Initially I presumed that was just marketing bullsh*t and couldn't possibly be true. But, I was keen to give it a try all the same as any increase in Octane will help avoid knock/detonation/pre ignition whatever you like to call it.
Holy sh*tballs. This stuff has blown me away!! I've a simple set up being just stage 1.5 on a K03. There's been a HUGE hike in midrange punch since I've started using it. Was talking to my tuner and he was confirming he's seen big hikes on the rollers for cars running this stuff. Can't wait to get mine back on the rollers so I can quantify the difference it's made.
Anyways, just thought it might be of interest to some of you guys looking to get the most from your setup
Cheers,
Dave
