Turbo's 'n' Stuff

[DRKSKY32]

A few quick questions guys, I have a R32 GTS-T and Im thinking of upgrading my turbo the problem i have is the car cant come off the road during the week (coz I use it for work) i was thinking of buying an old T3 and getting it high flowed and stuff but just checked out GCG and they want nearly $2000 does this seem a bit much just for some new bearings and wheels there must be $2 worth of steel there!, anyway so any thoughts on whether its better to go new or high flowed (and on a budget) also if there's any straight bolt on aftermaket turbo's and finally are external waste gates much better than internal, coz I've already got a dump pipe with a big long screamer and I dont want to part with it unless the gains are good

Thanks for any help. James

You can get a HKS 2835proS or GTRS for $2800 from nengun, why would you muck around with an old one [that you have to buy and then send to GCG = $2400+].

seems like a good deal maybe contact him alot cheaper than a GCG one

surely people let you put deposits for the turbo, that is reimbursed when they recieve your exchange item that is in good working order?

I'd call them up and ask.

Contact the user 'Slide' from Sliding performance for excellent quality and great value high flows - you wont be dissapointed.

all depends on what you want from your turbo, besides just ask a mate to lift you to work - say for a carton or bottle of his fav drop?

2K is a lot of money id do some research

GTS-T -> Garret or HKS 2530 as weapon of choice. Straight bolt on drive away. My 2cents.

sin they are not a straigh bolt on, some of the lines require changing.

But its a minor f**k around if you know what your doing other wise its a funt

I'm a big fan of the hi flow on the RB20, makes good power and doesn't cost tons of lag. RB20's are not the most torquey things anyhow.
