A second hand PFC and a set of Nismo AFM's is the best bit of $1,500. A decent ECU like a G4 is only a few hundred more. It's a no brainer. You get a car that drives so much nicer and is crisper under the foot.
Rail is the same and the reg is the same. Save yourself a brain spasm and just buy some I'd 1000's or equivalent and be done with it. Get a proper ECU to boot too.
No excuse today. Put a sensor and a real/decent #not a Power FC ECU in it and have the range/ability to do whatever you want. It really isn't that expensive.
Geoff. The 8374 and the 9180, are they the same size housings with different sized wheels?
Have you got a side by side comparison? A 8374 is a bloody huge turbo, physically speaking.
T51's belong in the bin. The poofy gay sound is "fabulous".... Turbo tech has moved on in the last 15 years. How those things are even considered as an option today is beyond me.
