Garrett have sold out of GTX stock worldwide, there is certainly a lot of interest. There must be plenty of builds in the pipework.

It looks like you have your answer, GT3071 will be the obvious choice. :thumbsup:

I have/had the GT3076 0.82 IW, I found it a little bit laggy for my liking, but I still enjoyed it, I was pulling ~265rwkw at 15psi

You also have to remember, everyone's case/experience with these turbos is going to be different because of different set ups. So what may work well for someone else doesn't mean you are going to get the same results.

I would maybe suggest the GTX3071 or strongly suggest the GT3076. Maybe speak to Morrie at Horsepower in A Box, he has played around a little bit with the new GTX series - GTX3076 only I think, can't remember.

Sounds like you have 3 choices in 0.82 IW:

- 3071

- 3076 52 Trim (Disco's choice)

- 3076 56 Trim

The earlier on the list the more responsive and the less top end. The later the less responsive and the more top end. Although we are not talking huge differences between all of them, maybe 3-400rpm in response and say 20-30rwkw in top end.

Joeyjoejoeshabadoo (sp) seems to be the ideal Case for 3071 (admitantly 2835 .67 or something). Making 260ish at 1 bar. Full boost about 3300. Sounds perect in theory

it is ;)

dan (halle) has just changed from a 2835 to a 3037, so he should have his old kit for sale...

FWIW I've tried both the 3071 and 3076 52 trim with twin scroll .78 rear housing on my SR20.

With a 3.5 inch dump/exhaust (up from 3 inch) I managed to get the 3076 52 trim making more mid range than the 3071. To make it clear, the 3076 52 trim was more livelier than the 3071 at any rpm.

The 3076 52 trim is a great "no compromise" turbo compared to the 3071 for 290+ rwks'. At this level of power, traction is an issue and is probably no use making more for a rwd street car. BUT if you want more.....just add E85!!

The only downside (if you call it a downside) is that the 3076 makes alot more spool noise than the 3071 due to the surge slots in the 3076 compressor housing.

i wish you had done that back to back without changing the exhaust man :/

Don't think things would have improved, and possibly worsened/caused damage as the 3071 was already surging when coming onto boost wih the 3 inch exhaust.

A better flowing exhaust would have possibly made it surge more when coming onto boost. The surging tells me I couldn't put any more boost into it when coming onto boost so I doubt it could make any more power in the mid range.

The surge slotted 3076 52 trim allowed me to at least match the 3071 to build boost and make significantly more mid range in the process - probably because A - it was not surging and B - it was possibly a cooler/denser intake charge with the slightly larger compressor and C - with the larger dump there was a bigger pressure differential across the turbine when coming onto boost which pulled the 3076 onto boost earlier than expected.

I.e on the dyno the 3076 52 trim was making positive pressure by around 2300rpm, 1 bar at around 3350rpm and 1.5 bar (22 psi) by 3750 rpm on a sr20.

I had a similar experience, Mine was a little laggy but made 300 odd RWKW at 18psi so it was pretty good. But in changing to a RB26 with twin HKS2510s I realised how much better 300 rwkw could feel!

Did you have the 56 Trim 3076?

Did you have the 56 Trim 3076?

What ever trim is the same as what HKS uses for the RB25 3037....so from my fuzzy memory I think that is the 56T. I have pics of the ID tag somewhere. If i remember i will go look it up!

cheers guys. all info is massively helpful. something like the 3037 was what i was after but the $$ isnt there for a genuine kit. im now leaning towards to 3076 with 52t, but any more helpful info is appreciated

not quite, i rang MTQ and they have in stock, a touch over 2k though

that sounds pretty much perfect, with a reasonable top end to boot.. this seems the best compramise between spool and top end.

while your on the dump pipe topic. ive read a split dump set up on the garret IW set ups arent ideal and a 'bellmouth' set up works better? the rest of my exhaust is a 4" magic cat and 4" cat back so that back pressure should be ok

thanks again

Yeh, I would never buy from here for that reason. For much the same price I got the GTX 3071, Tial 0.82 stainless Vband housing and a 45mm turbosmart wastegate delivered, I just have to wait for stock... :dry:

So in the end much of a muchness and either should do the job? Been doing some research this arvo. Plenty of info on the 76 with 56 trim on RB not alot with the 52. so if it's comparable to the 3037 (even with the rear housing difference) then there's also alot

I've had the CES split dump pipe on the stock s15 turbo. Never had it on a dyno but it was a fantastic upgrade from a seat of the pants feel.

However, depending on the quality of the split dump and how soon after the slit dump merges back into the main exhaust can give varying results (good and bad). My current setup has the external gates merging back in just before the cat i.e. merge it back in as late as possible. On IW setups there have been mixed results as I previously mentioned. I think the concensus is to go a quality bell mouth setup.

I'm no expert, but this ^ is kinda what i've gleaned from this thread.

I have a 3071 56T .82 and love it. Not having had a 3076 or any other Garrett turbo i suppose it's easy to say that, however i don't think the differences in trim and comp wheel size are really worth fussing over *too* much.

(This all assumes that the rest of your setup is sorted)

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
