wont cause any flow problems. aslong as you get a decent joiner on there with a good clamp it should seal alright. my biggest concern would be any other damage caused by whatever hit it hard enough to do that, any idea how it happened?

She'll be right mate...

Wont affect flow at all.

maybe take the comp housing off and give it a straighten, at least so it'll seal with a coupler. Or get some liquid gasket maker (high temp stuff) and fill up the gap while there's a coupler over the inlet.

thanks fellas,

I asked the seller about how it was damaged,he said it was like that when he got it..said comp and ex wheels not contacting housing and spinning freely,

it is a brand new turbo..

another point is i havent confirmed if this thing will fit in low mount position (std manifold) in my car,plenty of rb25/30 refs but i have stagea rb25 4wd eng.will keep digging i guess.

oh its a Holset hx35, 7 blade comp with 12cm ex housing.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
