I have found a way around the injector / afm maxing out problem so its time for a turbo upgrade.

The Budget: $3000 + fitting bits and pieces ( I will fit myself )

[i:7acb06bd56][u:7acb06bd56]The options so far:[/u:7acb06bd56][/i:7acb06bd56]

HKS GT2835 - 52Trim with .68 a/r (400hp)

What else do you guys reccomed, I need to know th eentire cost so don't tell me X turbo for $2700 only to discover it is external gated.

This is a serious enquiry and will happen later this year.

cam I would hiflow your vg30 turbo and put an external gate on it. you can get a 60-1 front wheel and a bigger exhaust wheel and it will rock the external gate will give you more control and you wont need a custom manifold.

or go td0 6 20 g they are a great combo but a biggish vg 30 is really good if you want more power just go a t4 with a roller bearing center.

cheers

the 2835's are laggy.

Yes it is possible, there are many ways to do itb ut if you are going to the expense of a turbo and ex/gate then you probably have the money for a new manifold ($1000) unless of course you pick one up super cheap.

JMS did this on theier Onevia and simply had a block welded onto the flange on the stock manifold with the wastegate coming up off this and the turbo bolted on.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
