I've just got a M-ITX system.. it shits on most rigs out there and the size of a shoe box lol

pfft who buys PCs as a package.

rebuilding mine in a few months once car is sorted. All it needs is new hard drives and a new graphics card because my choice of cards was poor and cant find similar cards to SLI. Save those monies. Had an i7 920 for a while now and barely breaks a sweat, The SSD was one of the first out during the price drop and im pretty sure its the root cause of my PCs hiccups every year or so when I need to do a reimage.

I used to have a i7 920, great CPU now I've got one of the newer i5s (actually quicker than older i7s) new GPU is a 660ti good bang for buck compared to my 2x 5850s

I've a Sandy Bridge 2600K, and video card is a 560 Ti with 448 cores (essentially a 570), still going strong :D. Only built a year and some months ago. Got enough cooling ready to go for when I want to overclock as well :D

Murky world of Haswell laptops is what I need to look into this semester, urgh.

    • 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. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
