yeah second hand gt3540's are worth anywhere from $900 to $1200, i picked up a brand new one for $1450 2 weeks ago.

drop the price to 1200 and you should be able to get close to that price

this turbos hasnt even been pushed into its efficiency range yet. So its barely even been used. I payed 1800. Polished it. Put the metal elbow and did roughly 1500kz. So its still basically new. But i am negotiable. Be realistic im not gona go too low.

And u cant get them brand new from a shop for 1600. Min is around 1750

approx 18psi. i dont want to push this any further because i have a single plate clutch and obviously the std bottem end, if it was a built engine with a twin plate, i would go up to around 26psi. For street this is more than enough to scare you.

To do the same setup i have done with this turbo is not a costly exercise.. Turbo cost me around 1800 then delivery, manifold was 250 then hadto modify it to be perfect, gate was 570.. You could use cheaper parts, but i dont want to stuff around fixing things twice, so i went braided everything and made another wastegate outlet with a screamer, full 3" exhaust, 4" intake pipe, Put the elbow on because if i was to put a silicone bend it would melt.

So realisticly the figures to set up everything would be roughly 3,700 or so doing it right.

    • Also playing with fire if they start to flow more air down low than what the stock twins can. It's not even up top you need to worry, it can be at 3000rpm and part throttle and it's getting way more flow than it should.
    • Any G40/1000 or G40/1250 results out there?  
    • You still want a proper tune on the stock ECU though. Stock tune + stock ECU with GT-SS/-9s is probably playing with fire if you're running more than stock airflow/power.
    • I like their veal scallopini.
    • Definitely a hearty eater when we go out, I consider these meals my cheat day as I've been watching my calories in and calories out pretty hard since my little fun size stroke, I've gone from a fat boy of 89 Kg, I'm only 165cm tall/short, down to a almost semi lean 73 Kg over the last few years, I'm currently around 17% body fat which my doctor is very happy with, but, my goal is to slowly get down to and maintain 15%,so yeah, I want all of the protein, carbs, fats and sugars when I go out for a binge
