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?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
