my mechanic went to fit them up and they didnt fit, had to make custom dump pipes, apparently the turbo flange? was the problem, he is one the top tuners in nz.....so im hoping he was right! plus had to make up new oil, water returns from the turbos, can find exactly what is the problem if you want......

Mine are here in a week (or two) and id imagine wont have any issues like any other grand name dump.

But then im using GT-SS, but same turbo essentially, people using them on 2530's = same as -5

I thought you posted earlier that your using trust dumps as there the best?Was I mistaken :D

I sure as hell hope they bolt up to the Gt2860R-7's because i have Tomei dumps sitting at home waiting for my turbos which were ordered about an hour ago.

I will be very pissed if they dont fit, my cars been off the road too long for me to get other dumps to fit my front pipes.

how much for the old trust ones?

the reason why ur dump pipe doesnt fit ur new turbo is because u bought the wrong exhaust housing

the exhaust housing u have must be to suit a SR20 dump pipe

an eazy fix for this problem is get ur standard Rb turbo's exhaust housing machined to suit ur new 2860

exactly wat i was goin to point out

Shit.. just read the rest of the thread..

i'm sure one of the dumps has an indent to overcome that problem of fouling..

either way i wont ever know since i have a/m turbo inlets anyway......

i've gone from Trust to tomei... trust is pain in the burrrtt

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      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.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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
