same here. about a month ago i received mine and didnt pay import tax.

Thats around $2700 GT-SS delivered or $2450 for slide highflows

wouldnt you rather pay the extra $250 for gaskets, oil drain, studs and twin HKS BB turbos, and not have to send your old ones in?

Slide will reco mine for 1500 not $2450 i think you have got that confused with the price of the garrett's. Its either the HKS GT-SS turbos for $2700del or Garrett 2860r-5 turbos for $2450del.

Where did you buy your HKS turbos?

I'm in the exact same position, only looking to put about 1 to 1.2 bar on the turbo's and I can't decide between them. I was going to go for the Garrets but then the HKS comes with the actuators.

What is the advantage of the waste gate actuators? Obvously getting new ones sounds better then reusing 11 year old ones, but do they make any real difference?

Ok well the Garrett's deffinetly come with actuators, not sure what base boost they are set at. After that it reminds me that the HKS turbos do come with those upgraded actuators. Different actuators are set to different base boost settings and operate effiecently in different boost ranges.

Deren

the HKS uprated actuators will help limit boost creep longer than the stock ones will. Therefore will hold boost better, enabling you to run more boost at a steady level which places less reliance on the boost controller.

If your boost controller isnt the best then id say definitely go for the better actuators

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
