to me, i wuld prefer single turbo, at least it will kick in all the way to the red line. im not very sure how twin turbo werks, it might be abit sluggish during the 2nd turbo spools (i might be wrong). so conclusion change single turbo but bigger size than TD04 or else jus save ur time and money stick to ur twin turbo. moding TD04 to ball bearing i dun think it is worth it. how far can a stock fin TD04 go? 6k RPM then loss power in high end, at least TD06 den i guess it will satisfy u for quite some time even u dun mod it to ball bearing. mebi u can try porting it, another alternative way. hehe

remember that the V6 has two banks of cylinders with 3 cylinder each bank. its not like a supra or skyline which has an inline 6 engine. it would be a hassle to fabricate manifolds to get into just 1 turbo. yes it can be done but why? the extra length of manifold, not to mention where to put the single turbo will be mind bonggling. the best is maybe to upgrade to better td04's from a 4g93 or a vr4 and stick to the twin turbo setup. the td04 may be inadequate for high power vr4s or 4g93's but in a perdana with just 1litre capacity for each turbo (coz engine is 2.0 and got 2 turbos) it is more than adequate.

or use 2 td05 for super HP gains...

will it turbo lag....if there alot of lag...then is a problem even i have lots of bhp...

if you look into ur engine bay, 1 of ur turbo is near the radiator and the other is near the bulkhead (below windscreen). so imagine how to plumb 6 cylinders from different banks and to make the primary pipings the same length, where to put the single turbo etc etc...(not like skyline or supra, even though 6cylinder but its inline and can do piping similar to inline4 evo vr4 etc)

im sure the lag will be more than the original TT setup.

look around ur perdana twin turbo engine bay, from the top, from underneath, look how the exhaust go out from the engine, where the turbo is, then you'll understand...

 

[monsterv6]

one of the mechanic(GTauto) said that if the single turbo can be put at the gearbox side there..so can get same flow from the exhaust...

 

[alexz]

of coz can... anything can laa... duit punya pasal ofcoz anything can...



anyway good luck to ur V6 single turbo !! :)
