S2 for 17k next to Yamaha World on South Rd overpass, at the VW Car Yard opposite the Mazda dealership.

S1 for 11k in the small car yard right inbetween Adtrans and the Fire Dept. at crn South Rd / Daws rd.

meh - Id rather a Stagea ;)

1997 Stagea's can be had for like 15k onroad freshly imported. Generally with around 80000kms etc, twin sunroof, AWD, most are auto tho.

Plus I highly doubt youd be harrased by the LAW when driving a Stagea ;)

this one's for you Nozila - the LAW thinks a Stagea is a cheap-mans Volvo! :D :sorcerer: :D

Vange, mate I just noticed that you have an external wastegate. As in screamer pipe?

no idea, have a look next time and tell me, the exhaust place got all excited (when i first got car got new cat)when they saw some tube coming our of the turbo and connecting to the exhaust pipe n they called it an external wastegate lol, so im assuming its somthing good.

Sounds good mate just make sure and keep looking around anyway as you may find a bargain, also make sure they do all tests on the car to make sure its all good.

no i dont think youve got a screemer pipe you would know about that

and isnt your turbo stock?? therfore your wastegate would be internal

im thinking just a fancy dump pipe

here is a pic :)

the top pipe goes around the exhaust pipe and re-re connects about under the gearbox.

also the turbo looks diff from others...i dunno lol, the rust doesnt look normal either! haha

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
