Vg30 Turbo On Rb25det?

[NizmoNigga]

Have searched but nothing relevant to my mate's scenario.

He has a R33 S1 with 3" exhaust with cat and stock front pipe & a pod filter. His turbo is on it's wasy out so he needs a new second hand turbo. Options that have come up are replace with another stock R33 turbo or an VG30 turbo, which is around the same price figure.

Besides the lag will the RB25det handle the VG30 taking into account the only mods listed above. Please express some opinions...

Thanks

i have an R33 S1 GTST, i have almost the same mods to you although i have a standard cat (have not gotten around to replacing it yet) with every thing else 3" and a 1 piece split front dump and dump, i also have a fmic.

I have a high flow that consists of a T4 front and a VG30 rear.9 - .95 is the most boost i can get out of it before it starts breaking down, it is a huge improvement over the standard turbo which was on 12psi before it blew and my engine which is not real healthy and has done 200,000k's seems to cope with it fine.
