No its not but you tell me this if a professional mechanic told you that would you take the risk, i think not .

There just makin sure that the turbo is gonna take the power, revs, boost, pressure whatever it is.

Those so called Proffesional mechanics sure know how to rip people off too...

Picked my turbo up from Grant at Per4manz on Wednesday, I'll try get some pics tonight.

Turns out he built it originally and he rebuilt it (rear seal was carbon'd up and leaking oil) for a very reasonable cash price. So now I have what is effectively a brand new turbo AND I know what the specs are :D

Awesome bloke and awesome service, cannot recommend highly enough!

Listen man you can think what you want but i'm getting all the stuff done for my car and its parts supplied and fitted so i don't care bout how much it costs.

Also i just got an e-mail from the mechanic and he said he received a call from the turbo workshop saying that the bigger rear housing on the turbo wasn't good enough so they sent it back again.

So i'm just going for a normal sized one.

Thanks for the offer man, but i've got Andrew at hyperdrive doing all the leg work for me, just thought i'd finally let you all know who was workin on my car.

Whats happening to my car is a turbo upgrade, larger injectors and a airflow meter, parts supplied and fitted for $4700. and i think thats fair.

He has to make a profit to somehow, thats why its called a business.

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.

      Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.

      Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
