Good luck with that turbo Abe, i've just been recommended a 3076 with .6 rear. Reckons it'll be good for 280rwkw!

Got off the phone to hypergear and he said that would be enough to go about 320rwkw or so....for something like 260-280 he recommended a AT28G2 or something similar to a GT2871R for response and good hard hitting power

Pretty sure the XR6t rears are a 1.06 housing, being a 4ltr motor. I'd be dropping it to a .83 or .6, depending on how you want response to be

Response even from a 0.83 will be laggy as f**k considering the stock ones are 0.48 or something

dont quote me on those figures Dave.....thats what i have just been told so.....not my own findings and i have f**k all clue when it comes to turbos but others that know there shit will know the figures around it.....

Yeah Simon @ Morpowa said it would be pretty crazy, but with the smaller .6 rear response wont be too bad! Wish i had of grabbed the one in the for sale thread. Pump and injectors for me first i think.

Hmmmm and they're on my shopping list too Dale!

On a brighter note, got some cf eyebrows off ebay. Picked them up and both are cracked! Seller is sending 2 more out tomorrow and i get to keep the fecked ones! :)

Woot, thats what i was aiming for.

Thanks, ill let you know how i go with this.

is that a 1.06 rear housing Abe?

No, its a .8X (its a 0.8 something)

and run an external gate*. that pissy little internal has trouble coping.

*with a big f**k off screamer pipe.

As much as i would like to, no. It going on my daily.

well, external gate is going to be a minimum. seriously. that tiny little internal gate has trouble properly handling the boost.

*correction, smaller turbine housing, might just get away with it.

i got the same ones i reckon.. on didnt fit, and cracked, got new one, sent the wrong one, got new one, still didnt fit right.. cbf afterwards.

there shit!

Yeah, i just picked mine up, hoped on the for sale and saw the same turbo for $1800, i could have saved money....oh well.

The turbo i got is running a 12psi actuator, and according to my research - browsing here and looking at Lithium, Mafia, and Cube's posts, they recommend the 0.8 rear housing. They also said that there is boost control issues, but that only really happens with the non genuine Garrett housings. The rear housing on mine says Garrett, and has 0.8 stamped in the exhaust input :S

    • 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 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
