You'd be the only one on the planet that does!

Where they're choofing is where you should have a hard surge of power but because of the mismatched wheels they cant get the power out. Its like the power is in there trying to escape but it cant, if that makes sense

really??? With smaller turbos what top end could i get considering ill fit injectors at the same time and a tune. Or will i be better off making the most of what i have.

Its only a weekender and i dont mind the way it drives now but is it worth the expense of buying new turbos? Which ones should i get by the way?

Top end will stay the same.

You need to run 25psi+ to make use of -10s

20psi is just a warm up!

IMO, the turbo change is the better option. That said it is also the most expensive so only you can decide what suits you.

you will gain 1000rpm which for around $2500 (turbo swap + purchase - selling of -10).

It'll be the best value you'll ever see on a bang for buck scale.

Perhaps wait till Piggaz posts his results and see for yourself before deciding?

And I thought -5's were lazy on a 2.6!!!!

Yep, only way to see what your current setup will do 'safely' is to put it on the dyno and test while monitoring vitals.

Then let us know how it goes. :thumbsup:

Iv'e also got the GTRS (actual HKS ones) i picked up brand new for around 3k so just gonna see how they go, i know they will be laggy on the stock 26 but hopefully with cams, e85, ARC twin entry front mount and a light car they will work alittle :P

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
