I'm returning my car to stock to trade it in, so the turbo is coming off also.

GCG hiflow, which costs over $2000 for gcg to carry out the work. plus you have to supply the stock turbo for them.

I checked it about 1000-2000kms ago and there was no shaft play or leaking seals. It's never blown smoke etc.

can easily be boosted to 20psi+, but never seen over 1 bar.

Price is $1600 for the turbo, or $1300 plus good cond. stock turbo.

located in melbourne.

if sold before next sunday, i'll have some time to do both turbo removal and installs. (for a bit extra of course)

theres some pics from when i checked it, they were the only ones i got on my phone.

price now $1200 with swap, or $1400 without.

i'd say 20-30,000kms on the turbo. max boost this things seen is 1 bar, which is a walk in the park for this thing. i just never got the injectors n afm to go any higher.

not sure exactly what rpm i saw 10psi, but this thing felt like it had the same lag as stock. from just watching the boost gauge and the revs, it seemed like it hit 1 bar at approx 3000rpm. its still on the car so i can take you for a spin if you want and you can feel it for yourself.

just saw your in nsw so maybe the spin option will be a bit difficult. lol

Yeah, if only I was in Melbourne it would be so easy... I'm keen on the turbo, but can't be without my current turbo for a few weeks waiting for yours to arrive (as I need the car on the road)

my numbers 0423 366 118. call me when you find out to give me some notice. It's currently running 10psi on a stock computer, but it's still quicker than my mates r34 gtt running 1 bar.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
