are they t3 from factory??? how much bigger would it be from my hiflowed rb25 one? worth it?

I think its a Vg30 turbo? yeah it will fit .. I think its meant to be bigger, same housing as r34 turbo .. so compared to r33 turbo highflowed you would see an improvement .. but you may not

it did come off a vl turbo. and it ass end looks bigger. came with an actuator too

im gonna get the dump custom made while the car is at the workshop. im not fussed. compaerd to my 25 slide hiflow how do you guys think this one will go in terms of power? slides hiflow made 230 on 16psi.

because its second hand i dont want to run more than 14 psi on this one.

Running a hi-flow for a 3ltr will potentially lead it to be quite nun-responsive compared to a hi-flow made for a 2.5ltr.

I say this because a larger/cropped rear wheel is used for the 3ltrs to get the flow.

So i wish you luck, as your going to need it trying to do something on the cheap (twice)

Could have purchased a decent turbo by now :)

it dosent fuss me at all. i only paid 250 for the turbo. if it blows in 6 months it blows.

least it will be on the road while my hiflow is being repaired under warranty

ey man why dont u get yourself a factory turbo put it on till you get yours back then sell it when your done

trial n error mark. didnt pay much for it. we'll see how it goes. il have the other hiflow for backup just incase

i think it is just another junk ebay turbo by the looks of it..... maybe worth it if you need to get your car running.... i wouldnt bother especially as you hav already had one dodgy turbo let go....time to bite the bullet and get something decent?......but hey who cares what i think :)

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
