Haha cheers scott only couple of days now till i get to hear this lil baby scream :)mestamp='1316611486' post='6026347']

Ohh la la, look at that.

Now I am confident you will be a happy chappy :)

Lets see you crank some boost through it hey hey hey hey ;)

Just looked under my car and this dump pipe looks like its to suit a high mount manifold the offset from the turbo flange down to the flange that bolts up to your cat looks wrong im bolting it onto the standard headers :domokun:

Can anybody confirm this PLEEEEASE?

Gunna call liverpool exhaust and see what they say tomorrow because they made it

looks like its to suit a standard manifold to me. impossible to tell for sure from pics, but definately not to suit highmount.

The bit that heads up to the turbo does look longer than normal.... I think it might be to suit a high mount.

Not yet! Bottom end is in for machining / balancing at the moment, I should have it back next week. I still need to send the head off for a service. Then it's assembly time!

You get your car running with the gtx mate?

DVS JEZ and Mick_o have been hard at it all day, it is all installed and they are heading out to do the road tune soon.

Hopefully Mick can give us a bit of an update later tonite or tomorrow.

Full credit to Jez for patiently working through the issues that modifying cars can throw at you.

Thanks Andrew, glad u were there to give me a few neat little tricks especially the one on how U remove the side feed injectors from the rail. Loved that one.

Did a tiny bit of road tuning. Was wet and scary, but so far so good. Turbo is nice and responsive and has an awesome sound.

I just got home and left at 6 this morning. So a 16hr day. I couldnt leave micko there without getting it finished, i could tell he had been itching to drive it since he started ordering all the parts.

A big thanks to Jez for his effort today absolutely massive mate im cheering u are a champion :) sorry bout the onions i guess the saying once u go black u cant go back doesnt apply to onions hey? Lol i also want to thank Andy for dropping in and saying hi, checking up on us and giving us some helpful tips and especially for delivering my new cat Haha much appreciated mate.

We peaked 13.5psi tonight very briefly before the wheel spin in the wet.

My car did feel a bit livelier down low than your current setup but obviously hard to say without traction and proper tuning .

Was shocked how much my exhaust note changed from stock turbo and bodgey gutted cat to what i have now sounds awesome!

Cant wait for full tune and E85!

Think its gunna be a tough lil street package :)

Thats a bugger mate but i can tell you that you will be happy with your turbo selection from my first feel of my car today and the sound is good too :)

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
