I went from a VF35 to a TD05 18g mate on a 2.0lt
There was more lag obviously on the 18g but it was a different animal. The VF was very smooth and progressive. The 18g would build up then hit you with boost and away you go. Wasnt really laggy imo
Last turbo was a 20g but on a 2.5 so no lag really.
The MD is getting all the rave reviews mate for its earlier spool. But you pay that bit more.
The 18g can now be picked up for 300-350 and give figures of 350-370ish
Great little turbos.
If you can wait and afford a MD go for it. I think a 20g might be laggy on a 2.0lt but Bod has been running one a while so he could take you for a spin
Either way it wont be long till you need a new gearbox/clutch/engine
