Can anyone recommend a Garrett turbo which will bolt on to my standard exhaust manifold. i currently have an xforce 1 piece dump pipe down to cat in 3 inch stainless steel. this will need to match up to back of turbo. Im currently running standard turbo.

Im looking for a garrett which will give me 260 to 280kw at wheels with great response and minimal effort to install.

Does garrett have a bolton replacement which can give me some good power.

i have all the supporting hardware, just need turbo

Thanks guys

unfortunately it won't bolt up to the dump and it will require oil and water lines and intake mods.

then again I am sure a search of the gazillion threads on this will give you are the information you will ever need.

I will have a look for info on GT3071r

thanks guys

Do you think this garrett item is better than the hypergear hiflow turbos?

I have spoken to fred from Turbologic in Wollongong and he recommends buying a new garrett turbo off the shelf rather than spending money to high flow my stock.

After a hiflow, the only true bolt on turbo's are the HKS line, they are more expensive but they are a complete kit. I'd look at the GTRS and the 2853 pro S for that power range. As Wolverine says, the Garrett are not bolt on, they require new dump and oil/water lines.

I believe the hypergears are good functional turbo's. The main diffs are in the country of manufacture and I know the Garrett is ball bearing whereas I think the hypergear are plain bearing, but others can correct me if I'm wrong.

After a hiflow, the only true bolt on turbo's are the HKS line

So do A'PEXi (IHI) I had an AX53B70 which I saw was up for sale on these forums again recently... they are also in the same power range

Have a look at the middle of the page, dump pipe is a bolt on but you will need oil and water lines which they also sell which will make it a straight bolt on.

gt3071r kit, comes with everything including dump from GCG, and unlike the other supliers it is clocked ready to bolt on.... which means no custom actuator braket etc...

Anyone reading this topic want to also share their experiences on the "bolt on kits"?

as above, i noted that i purchased a Garret 3071R kit.

got it from a shop in sydney who i think may have ordered it from SA (I could be wrong)

according to my tuner the kit was incorrect with parts missing.

The spacer was not included. cost me an extra $30 organise one locally.

No elbow for the comp housing, not sure if this was to be included though.

studs provided were also imperial, not metric.

also something with either the water or oil line not being the correct size or length.

anyone else know or come across these issues?

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
