I don't trust 2nd stockers, I do trust 2nd aftermarket turbos providing it is in good condition before it is being whacked into the motor.

and how do you know its in 'good condition' before whacking it into a motor?

I bought a hks2530 off yahoo auctions. Came in its original box and manual. No shaft play and looked good as new. Whacked it on the car, started it up and all you could hear was bearings screaching.

Rebuild revealed a flat spot on the bearing. Luckily cost of turbo + rebuild was still cheaper than the price muppets sell them here for

Selling my roof spoiler, $120 if anyone on here wants it, just took it off my car. Need to put an ad in the For Sale section but cbf right now haha

By turning the turbine wheel with hand, if it's smooth, good and pull front + bac and side by side for shaft play.

Done that twice, both pair of turbos have no issues and is pumping 300rwkw+

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG is has not responded to my emails so far after purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
