How on earth did you manage to write that out twice :blink:

Yeah I have never heard of them either. I really don't understand why people go towards random unheard of turbochargers when the ones that are proven time and time again at the end of the day aren't that much dearer. Given that 9/10 times a "cheap" budget turbocharger doesn't fit properly and requires a custom dump pipe or spacer plate or custom made oil and water lines, usually ends up being just as much as a bolt on Garret or Hypergear kit. Not to mention than you don't get the power you want and end up selling it 6 months later.

I just did a google on the PCPA turbochargers. PCPA is the name of the website (maybe shop aswell, didn't really look into it that much) that sells them. Not the brand of the turbochargers themselves.

So the turbochargers appear to be just a typical no name brand ebay spec turbo like the rest of them.

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
