car is a 33 series 2 gtst.. stock turbo is on its way out.

Considering a brand name turbo is going to set me back big $$$ i was considering a cheaper turbo. i.e Chinese / brazilian turbo. I know everyone has opinions on the cheaper stuff "you get what you pay for" but im just looking for a replacement for the stock turbo.. I'm not after big HP either.

Yes i've done research and as always i end up sitting on the proverbial fence. I just dont want to spend thousands on a turbo thats going to do the same job as a $700-$800 turbo.

Opinions? Advice?

flame on!

i would usually suggest high flow but he said he was just after a replacement, nothing for horse power application...

hence i suggested a stocker... plus their cheap...

sounds to me like he wants to upgrade since the stocker is rooted anyway, but not spend a whole heap of money on somthing that would be overkill.

+ 2 to highflow your current turbo, buying a second had one could have the same problem later.

f you highflow it you know its all new gear but in a bolt off bolt on application unlike the Chinese stuff.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
