A bit of local voicing,experience wise,required here,lads and ladies.

Most will send their turb's away to places like GCG etc for rebuilding etc,but I just need my two stockers checked before selling them off. Call me a nice guy who doesn't want to see the new buyer get anything other than a decent set of twins. It seems like they're in good condition,with minimal or no shaft play,but I'm no pro',so I'd like them checked over locally if poss'-easier to talk face-to-face,drop off + pick up,etc. One well known place I emailed outside of ACT said they wont do a written report-covering their butts,which is fair-but I just want the peace of mind that they're OK before eBaying/For Sale sectioning them off...So,who's used where around here? Pricing and quality of advice? Feel free to PM me with pricing or if you got crap service,rather than flaming the shop on the forums...

COOMA DEISEL in Fyshwick - Top Quality shop and advice, you will be surprised. Just down the road round the corner from Peter at Autotech. Their great. Just picked up my Turbs from them on Friday. Got advice one screwed the other good. ($30 transport fee to GCG :O ). They are in tight with Garrett and Mike at GCG.

The babe on reception is a bonus

If you ebay - add a third very good HKS 2530 (stuffed one thrown in for free).

And I have a feeling that chick knows her turbo's.

nice! :) a chick who is mechanically minded.... thats HOT!

i think the best idea here is to visit Cooma Deisel. i've never been there, so i cant vouch for their work, but i've heard good things about them.... i also know that Dave at Gas Tune in tuggers is experienced with turbo and high powered cars. worth a look i reckon, great bloke as well.

    • 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 👌
