They spec the normal GTX2863 for 2000 bucks including the normal 3"/2" compressor housing for 2000 bucks, so an extra 200 bucks for a gtr style compressor housing machined out to fit doesn't seem that bad to me...

anyone have any thoughts on the response difference running GTX2863s on a 2.6 instead of a 2.8?

im trying to gauge how the'd go on mine after seeing the dyno plots on a 2.8. im guessing a similar difference between the -5 and GTX plots just moved slightly up the rpm scale?

Why bother....OK apart from Legality (which aftermarket turbos still dont cover you for).....

how did I know that video was what was in the link.

old tech twins vs new tech billet single

should have used a GT3582 from an XR6 turbo. that would have been a better comparison since the compressor wheels are all of similar design and the only variable would have been twin vs single.

What if he had used newer gtx2863 vs older gt3582 single?

I posted this in the comments of the video but I'm still awaiting a reply

To be fair, he is correct in that he's comparing two common setups. Not many are running around with GTX2863's still.

but it not about comparing "common" setups it was all about "low twins vs single".

his single setup uses a 50mm ex gate which looks to be to atmosphere, plus his 3.5" exhaust which helps with the response mid topend power.

he should have plumbed the gate back in before the cat. to make it a fair fight.

Not siding either way as I'm after a stock appearance myself.

+1 for stock appearance

That video is a good summary of my feeling going from twins to the 6262

He seems to have epic power from -9s though or a slightly happy dyno?

-7 housings with -5 wheels I believe, Pete.

^yeah, that's why I'm super keen to see a pair of GTX2860's in -7 housings. I'm curious how hard they'll go in the .42 compressor covers.

Also worth noting is the stock head work and tomei poncams with only 9.1mm lift!

GTX2863 are not bolt on. He says in the opening lines what the comparison is and goes through all the pros and cons.

Haven't most of the graphs of gtx turbos proven they don't spool quicker but they make more power?

So using an older gt style 3582 would just not make as much top end

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
