Turbo Hi-Flowed or not? help!!!!

[J-Flash]

G'day All!!!

I am a new member and a soon to be proud skyline owner. I have read many threads on the site but I have not come across something I wish to know.

Can you visibly tell if a turbo has been hi-flowed.

If I can buy a car with this done already it would be great but I would also have peace of mind if I could make sure it has been.

My knowledge of the performance of skylines is limited to the fact that they go hard fast and sound and look even better!!

My thirst for this knowledge knows no boundarys so wet my palate please.

ok first of all i love yah picture has a lot of style , and too your question about features of a hi-flowed turbo ........ LAGGY AS F*#K!, hehe well from past experience they tend to be laggier than the bigger ones , but visual looks ok from the out side you usually tend too see a manufacturers name on the commpressor side of the turbo EG= XTR.

ok other than that its all internals ok you will find that the compressor side of the turbo ( or the induction side ) the mouth of this side will be very thin like about 2 mill think not thick at all .... std there round about 4 mill thick ok you will visually see the machine marks along the throught of the compressor side , this will be the only way too tell if its been hi flowed , well if you wanna take the turbo off and check out the exaust side well there will be a faair bit of the out let taken out too and maby even a bigger actuator valve and shutter. anyway if u want more info just ring up GCG turbo chargers they will give you the run down on what differences there are but ive given u most of them .......
