sry didnt know how to go about it, its a fair wack to just buy 1 then start to think about it :S

Mate a good idea to look into is seeing if any of your local Mechanics are familiar with Vi-pec ECU's they are very good and good value for money.. They are a tiny bit more $$ than the Apexi but with the vipec u dont need a AFM and with The Apexi u do so that save you some $$... i was going for a new computer and I asked my tuner which is better and at the time the vipec was cheaper than teh Apexi and he actually told me to go the Vipec as its a far better unit.... so for a tuner to pic a cheaper one and say its better is a fair endication of its quality in my mind...

But yeah mate best to research and shop around.. Remeber Power FC's are getting pretty old these days and the Tech in them is getting abit out dated

lol omg this is quite a shock as i was going to give mercury motorsport a call once i had purchased the fc for ur guys to tune it for me haha! i'll put the fc off for now till i get the time to call ur number an discuss it all with u, still keen on gettin a new power fc with hand controller tho, heard so many good things about them and everyone seems to think $1500 for a brand new one is a pretty good price???????

thanks for ur input guys i'll make my mind up when everyone has had their say :P

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
