danger man can you expalin this in more detail. Could i just disconnect the metal pipe/piece that runs to the flat off and wire it open ? instead of removing the whole actuator ??? Doing this is so i dont build boost? but the turbine wheel still be spinning still rite ??? So same thing as driving off boost ??? Just a question.. Thanks for the idea bro... Buying a blown rb25 turbo today, and taking it to MTQ Salibury ... What do i tell them to do with it, " Hey mate, can you high flow this " .... Do i need specs of what they should hi-flow it to.. Or they should know what to do... I got like a 1k budget... so hoping its not too exxy If it is.. gotta wait a month

I have no idea where that guy gets his work done.. but 3-5k for a high flow turbo ??? wtf ??? i could get a GTRS ball bearing kit plus power fc for that money ! GCG sells hiflows for $1900 and thats an off the shelf item too ... I guess 1k for a turbo place to do one... $900 to diagnoise your car ??? hmmmzz I have done everything you mention rev210... accept for check turbine wheel ( rear wheel ) will do that tommorow....but everything else show signs it must be turbo...

WTF !!! $900 for diagnostic ??? or $900 for rebuild ???? If its $900 for diagnostic i rather take chance and get hiflow.. lolzz I think you meant for the rebuild right ?

Oh k, by whom .... Just any mechanic ??? Im in brisbane and have been ripped off by way to many people, will not mention workshops, but does anyone recommend anyone in brisbane ??? What am i expected to pay for a diagnostic... ???

i've check everything, i dont think im gettin way ahead my self, car is now making noises from exhaust housing... replace bov , change plugs, check all cooler piping, all nutz and bolts, check if anything in intake pipe, check air filter/afm, check front wheel ( will be check the rear soon ) ... Sound is definately coming from turbo... no where else... anyone in brisbane i could go to , that not going to say every is wrong and quote me and arm and leg... ???

still driving it... but off boost... like it never see a single psi... only on hills it may get 1psi...

Even if the turbo bearings are gone, how can i tell by lookin at rear exhaust wheel ???

Whats with the the sphincter of the universe slapp ??? i say something wrong, even on load car revs cleanly to red, just flat power like N/A. ( not driving on boost anymore though ) Everyone has diff ways to diagnoise their car, i just figure if the car revs cleanly to red, even in neutral with no load... it would let me know if i drop a piston or dun a valve spring or something as the car would not rev cleanly. But i aint going get into a forum argument that leads to no where... it doesnt help or fix my probs.. So you can the sphincter of the universe slapp me as much you like

Heheh but little do you know my avatar... that money was loan money from bank to buy the car... lolzzz... wish i had that dosh.nt Yeh i really wish i just be patient and let that truck go.. ... but i guess it would of happen sooner or later. Car is pulling 201rwkw Greddy front mount SAFC2 Full zorst / 3" cat intake & Cai Walbro pump and 10.5psi and spikes to 12-13psi... I believe the turbo was at its time to go, it is 13years old and i guess the turbo spike doesnt help.

time for new turbo.. neone hiflow one .. and how much ? 1k enuff ?

definately coming from the intake... Cuz if thats the case, the intake sound wouldnt change if its nutz and bolts... The spooling sound/intake is making the noise. Also already checked all nuts and bolts to. just going to undo the cooler pipe on the hot side.. and check if anything is sitting at the cooler core. If anything went through the Turbine fins would be super screwed...

nothing lose

Yep check all piping when i pulled it apart to check front turbine wheel... not losing vacumn on boost gauge, car would of stall and idle funny if i had cooler pipe blown off...holds boost fine too ( but i try not to try on boost now )

Well cant pull the engine apart to check inside, but tappets aint ticking, no oil or blow by, idles fine, no knocking or detonation, revs cleanly in neutral all way to red. And wen you drive the car. Engine feels and sounds completely normal off boost, even wen on boost, car feels normal as in operating normally. Just not as must OOMPH and turbo sounds like shit.... Wen i pulled all the cooler piping off, no oil or any bits in it. Exhaust note is normal. Car doesnt blow any smoke whats so ever. I've did search and ask few mech friends and they sed turbo bearings are gone... Although i forgot to mention.. prior to this the last month, the spooling sound has been gettin a louder whine/whistling to it. And feel not as fast as it use to be ( could be because im used to the power ) ... but i always thought it was like gasket leak. But check all mani bolts / turbo flange bolts ect... Its not a Exhaust leak sound. Its definately coming from Intake / spooling sound

I didnt say it sounds like a WRX ... Read the post properly dude...i sed the sucking sound of the turbo is in a rhythm like a WRX... and its not the engine note or exhaust note, car sounds perfectly fine off boost and wen in neutral reving. Exhaust note is normal even on boost. Its only when the turbo spools and on boost.. It goes shh shh shh shh shh instead of Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Plus if the turbo is making boost doesnt mean its fine. You can have warned and f**ked bearings and the car still makes boost... also noticebly less power

Im looking at getting MTQ to High flow my turbo... Or get a GCG or SLide 2nd hand unit... a Would looooove a GTRS.. but really funds dont permit... sooo poor man...

turbo still avaliable.. really want it !

Hey guys, My turbo spatt the dummy yesterday , what happen was i was in a merging lane, and a truck wouldnt let me through, so its either get stuck behind the truck or get in front of it. Obviously good things come to those who wait... but with my impatients, i dump it into 2nd @ 60-70km/h. Car boosted and heard a loud backfire pop after i back off. Now the car makes a weird az sucking sound. Its like your normal turbo spool sound but on a rhythm like a WRX burble. No i havent drop a cyclinder. Only makes the sound on boost and comes from turbo not engine or exhaust. Im not blowing any smoke and the turbo is still boosting ( 10psi then, have now pulled it back to stock )... I've check the front wheel and got no shaft play side to side, but slightly back to front. The front wheel is perfectly fine with no defects. So my conclusion is , i've done my Bearings over... So my question is... Lots of people sed if you keep driving a car with a blown turbo your engine will eventually die and will need a rebuild ( something to do with ceramic dust, but i dont think my rear wheel is gone ) ? Is that tru ? Even if i drive off-boost ??? Its my only daily round about and with uni/work. i need to get around. So is it ok to drive the car as long as its off boost ??? Any help be GREATFUL guys !!! P.S: Anyone got a Highflow for sale ????

Hey all, Looking for a another turbo. Pref want a Hiflow turbo... but will settle for a stock one. Stock boost is better than no boost at all. Looking to spend $200-$300 for a stocker.. and $800-$900 on a high flow.. Cheerz !!!! Pm me !

Hey all, Couple issues back, in HPi magazine, When the Yellow R34 was gettin its catch can fitted. They use Earl's Super stock hose and Cool Hose clamps that look like proper fittings. Where can i buy these in brisbane or similiar stuff??? I bought a DRIFT Catch can fitting kit today, and its was a WASTE of money, the hose was package poorly, and wen untangled was all kinked... Was really peeved off. The kinks just won't straighten up !

got any left ?

Yehh.. That what i was thinking.... even if i boost up to 12psi ... i recon 200rwkw is max i prob get... Lots of tuners, change ramp speed etc etc just to make customers happy. My figure is pretty raw. But in end of day, its fun to meeh... Now big qn is.. Should i go for reliability and leave it at 10psi and spend my money else where, or boost it to 12psi and tune again ?

So pissed off now. Once i fix one problem another one arises. I think i got a vac leak or exhaust mani leak somewhere. The car is making a feint whistle sound when i'm boosted like 1-2psi. Goes away later but i think thats just the engine noise overpowering it. Man i hate VAC leaks !!!! Wats best way to find these things

oops used a mates comp and posted under his login ... lolz... i bought it off him , the car
