The new GT30R is being presented to me on the 4/1/06 which is an internally gated T3 flanged turbo with the 0.63 A/R housing. The compressor still flows around 50lbs/min so will be good for power figures near 500hp and still maintain early boost. These will bolt straight on to your existing stock housing with the only change needed being braided oil and water lines. Even with the cost to adapt it, it should still be around the same price as the highflows but with more effieciency so less boost will be required to achieve the same result. PM me if you are interested.

Ok, sorry to get everyone's hopes up but here is the bad news:

The turbo is basically a GT30R with a hole cut in it above the turbine for the wastegate. Then they have bolted this housing thing over the top which has the flapper built into it. They have it all closed off except the turbine hole 2.5 inch which is where the wastegate gases have to exit also. This means that the dump pipe is no longer T3 but a three bolt triangular config and also means that your standard dump will not bolt up to it.

I expressed my disappointment to him about Garrett failing to come up with a decent idea. I showed him how it should have been made and we both can't understand why Garrett chose to do it the way they did.

He is going to get back to me on some grafting options where your existing exhaust housing may be able to be adapted to a GT30R front. This, I am hopeful, will achieve the task.

Other than that....if you don't mind paying $2000 plus an extra $600 in adapting costs, let me know....lol.

    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.

    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
