just looked all over it and there is no numbers unfortunately :ermm:

so why dont these housings flow if they are supposedly bigger than the .63 but smaller than the .82 in theory wouldnt that be a good happy medium between power and response?????

Im lost :wacko:

Mick I went over this before you bought the turbo. ARR is a ratio. There is no meaningful way to compare a non-Garrett GT30 based turbine housing with a genuine Garrett housing.

It will probably top out earlier than a 0.63 if it is an AVO casting.

Hang on a minute I just found the post.

If you just ask the supplier to swap your housing for the garrett one and pay the additional you will be fine.

Honestly, we are pretty much telling you there is no point even trying that housing and seeing how it will go. You will just void its value.

The supplier wont take it back once its used and you will not be able to sell it.

I assume you got your turbo from MTQ, just call them and explain you have changed your mind about the rear housing and would like to exchange it as it is still new and unused. Im sure he will let you send the housing back undamaged and exchange it for the garrett .82 provided you pay the cost.

If your housing is worth $400 new, and the garrett $600, pay the additional $200 then pay to send it to him and send it back to you and your laughing. No more mucking about, just do it.

but will it still make good low down grunt with the .82 cos i dont wanna have to rev its tits off it to find some fun power?

Will the E85 help with boost response?

Mtq are in wetherill park which is nice and close but i bought this turbo through boostn imports so i wonder if i will still have to go through him again or whether mtq would let me deal direct??? plus id need it before next weekend hope its do-able!

Would this give me my happy medium in terms of response but eliminating the boost pressure issues i might have with this bad flowing Avo housing that i have plus make more power than it??

Appreciate some opinions :thumbsup:

you need to measure your turbine wheel to see if it has a 60mm turbine or a smaller cropped turbine. if its 60mm then go to mtq and buy a .82 garrett housing to suit a gt30 and sell/return your current housing.

with a .82 IW housing i'd expect to see 1bar of boost around 3800-4000rpm on a mild rb25

Yeah that sounds alright id be happy with that thats not too shabby at all from the .82! its stock other than all the usual bolt ons and it will be on E85 too

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
