I might order one of these tomorow what yas think of price and size I don't care about lag

Do not buy that one.

If you are going down the route of a GT3076 then you will need a T3 flanged (not T25 SR20 type exhaust flange).

I would sit down and have a really good think about what you want out of a turbo before acting as you will save money in the long run by thinking it through.

I am not a fan of the turbine housings that bolt up to the stock dumps as I have never seen them allow the full potential of a 76mm compressor.

If you go down the path of a complete Garrett unit then you need to consider dump, oil/water lines, intake changes and you will need new injectors even with the correct HPIAB GT3076 with T3 flange there are still issues with oil/water line and intake changes.

If you're thinking of that exact one in the link, then don't do it. It's in a T25 flange and is made to fit SR engines.

Look for one that is in T3 flange :D

Edit: Dammit, beaten :)

i no its not that one i need but morrie at from that place says he has the one for rbs and the oil n water lines arnt much of a hassle. and im doin the exuast to suit so that doesnt matter.

i was gona get him to fit it so he can deal with it but now i have the motor striped down i was gona do it myself and just give it to him to tune.

i want to spend about $1600 to $1800max just on turbo.

if yas wana thro ya sugestions down go for it. just remember lag doesnt bother me, so must be in the 30s

Trying to pay mortgage on one wage at moment so budget isn't looking good for injectors.

Has anyone got sum of that metal paste stuff I can steal so I don't have to buy a $50 tin of it?

You won't need the afm if you don't change the injectors. Save the money for your turbo - total installation costs will be more with bits and pieces. Also I think fuel pump will cost more than $150 and afm will be $300.

Just do the turbo and fuel pump for now. What are you using for boost control?

    • I guess it was the thought about "Oh if I were to drive this everyday". Then no, SL500 I wouldn't really consider lmao. 
    • Yeah actually really fair point. Idk what I was thinking when looking at the SL500. Now that I think about it, I feel like I would have more enjoyment out of a shitbox that I would need to repair than some fancy merc. Although I must admit the SL500 does look quite nice. My bad hahaha.
    • 100% Also "Not wanting to spend money" is THE WORST IDEA IMAGINABLE when coming to a project car of any kind. They EXIST to BURN MONEY. Sure, gas money is a thing. A stock car with the worst fuel economy ever sold would probably be cheaper than modifying a car with FREE petrol for the life of your ownership of it, lol.
    • Amount of time you're being observed by law enforcement is so minute, that you could be a dumb shit 90% of your driving time, and never lose a demerit. You could also be the best driver ever and still get hit with a fine.   When you realise how quickly everything turns from "Wee, we're having fun!" To "oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k", you start to realise the only way to be a good driver, is to not be doing anything dumb or unexpected by normies on the road. You want to go fast, go to the track. Someone there in a 1990s slow POS will also show you how bad of a driver you are as they lap 10 seconds per lap quicker than you can in a car that should be considerably faster.
    • This is a stupid reason to get a car. I thought someone mentioned something about not trying to be pretentious... Flexing is same same, you just think you're cool doing it.
