yeah im still thinking about my next step, but my plans were for an aftermarket exhaust manifold and plenum, aftermarket crank and pistons and new valve springs ect. after these mods i would feel more inclind to increse boost.

my gt30 is internally gated for now, i opted for that as i didnt have the extra 1000 at the time for the external, but that will have to be changed also.

i havent considered wmi as yet, ive got the .82 housing too, sounds the same as yours.

ive got pics on my phone of the turbo, hopefully get them onto the computer soon. its low mounted, but is obviously not stock, which makes me very paranoid.

thanks guys, there have been a lot of useful replies given here which have given me plenty to think about. the rb25 turbo is probably sounding the way to go as it seems fairly stockish yet is a definate improvement and may even sneak past regency. Im not looking for much more than 200kw anyways.....

There's no need to drop the int gate if your not having issues with boost creep.

XR6T's are fine with their int gates and pushing 400+rwkw. Stick with the int gate, drop a larger flapper in it if you begin to experience creep if not leave it as is.

You heading down for the Nissan vs Toyota Dyno day this weekend at Boostworx?

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
