Alright awesome, definitely following your thread now

Sorry to not be able to help but are nismo pumps a good upgrade from stock rather than going aftermarket?

Wouldn't make sense to still have full boost but missing a turbo would it?

Haha wow, I've been warned jap cars are an expensive addiction and now it's starting to make sense why

Ahk maad, gonna have to look into a front mount. This forum is gonna cost me money with all the ideas everyone has haha

Im trying to keep it not looking turbo or intercooled at all where I can haha. Does painting the cooler make it cool less efficiently?

Always been kind of worried about the front mounts as they'd have to be spot on to be stealth wouldn't they? How does it run the stock piping as well? I ended up goin with the high flow turbo now im just waiting on rego before I can take it to sone tuners and shops to have a proper look at everything before I go for power. exhaust will be getting done before the tune as well with some nice big mufflers. Thanks for that reply P.s sorry for posting in a dead thread

Wow that was everything I wanted to know and more thanks, I'll speak to an exhaust shop soon about getting some big mufflers to go with an exhaust system. I already have a high flow turbo so that's one thing I dont need to worry about. Im going to speak to a few workshops/tuners soon to make sure everything is in working order before I try getting it on the dyno. All seems easily achievable, especially seeing as its tax time. Thanks again

Thats a good idea, havent heard of that done before. Would there be any issues with the motor connected to the butterfly over heating seeing as its so much closer to the cats and manifold?

Yea I would've liked to have it clear but being a p-plater even just having it glossy the way it is will be enough for me to get in a little trouble so trying to keep it relatively low key, it also hides the intercooler pipes so it looks like it goes from the filter straight to the t/b. It's a very tight fit as well haha. Thanks

Ok drove it to and from work, didn't get time on lunch to play around with the car but I got home and the shuddering has completely stopped. I guess it just needed a good drive haha

Yea on the way to work today I put the ac on at the lights and revs picked up but the noise is still there. I'll bring the car in on lunch and play around with the lines and see what happens

Sorry if its not what you meant by "what revs?" But idle is set to around 900, when I re installed the turbo I double and triple checked all the vacuum lines had somewhere to go but I broke one at yhe rear of the motor and super glued it back in place, possible cause? I know theres an empty place for a vacuum line onbthe block near the turbo but it seems to be one for a line off the manual boost controller which doesn't reach there. Other than that all lines are in place

Really? I played around with the cable as I had to take it out and set it at about 900rpm. Is that too.low?

Hi all, I recently replaced the turbo in my car with a high flow (no supporting mods yet) and have got the car running smooth on idle with no vad noises. Drove it out of my driveway and back in pretty much just to swap cars around and noticed as soon as the cars in drive at idle there is a shuddering that goes through the whole car, it doesnt try and lurch forward like it would with a wrecked converter tho, just shakes until I put it back into neutral or reverse. Anybody had this problem before? Any ideas appreciated, Cheers

Was that the varex system you were told is going for approval?

My turbo is a highflow and it cost $960 with a braided oil line and is good for 260kw

Ok mad, wasn't sure how they tested tge exhaust.

is 285kw hard to keep at a legal volume?

I've heard you can be defected with the varex system, think it was a "hoon crackdown" thing.on a current affair haha. Is it still legak through the whole rev range? Or is it only to 3, 000 rpm that they test the db?

Nah one run by an actuator controlled by the amount of exhaust gas going through so it opens under boost and closes at cruise. I like the idea of that apexi noise controller though
