Have either of you seen or bought from this company before. Yer i know a $1100 turbo will be good but tbh why not Dare to be different lol.

Worst case Scenario the thing blows and i get an excuse for a full rebuild lol.

I was posting on here to see if anyone had bought from the company before and had some actual feedback to give on the products.

Cheers C

Hey chris, good to see ya on the forums :)

yeah i'd stay away from monsta if I were you. we've had people come into the workshop with their manifolds which have misaligned bolt holes, badly cut gaskets and bad casting... and one person with a wastegate that was leaking from factory.

The VL boys here in melbourne seem to have it in their heads that this is a good product, and are often the ones conned into buying them. they're cheap and nasty. they ship quick and have a streamlined system, but their products are horrible.

Those turbo's are bad very very bad, i have heard storied of the turbo destroying itself after 10,000km then getting them rebuilt and only lasting another 5,000km due to the inferior metals and build quality plus i know monsta claim that the turbos are balanced when they are made but im starting to get they impression they the person who does the balancing doesnt actually know how to operate the machine.

eyah most of those cheaper turbos arent balanced, thats where the main problems come from. look at KKR turbos instead, still cheap and chinese but with proven reliability

that said, go do a quick search on calaisturbo.com.au you'll find a few threads on monsta, alot of people say they are unreliable etc, but they're are quite a few people on there using em, only posting good things, so meh, who knows

I know its not a turbo but i bought a set of dumps..and they were absolute shit. They look good until you try and fit them, bolt holes dont match, bend and angles all wrong.

Have some respect for your skyline and dont put monsta shit on it.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
