I had one of those turbos on my VL. They're no good. Made some OK power but there were lots of problems.

If you get one, and I strongly reccomend you don't. Make sure you have the right amount of oil going into it, the seals are made of out play dough so they won't handle any excess oil pressure. You need to warm them up and cool them down very carefully or shit gets rough.

They're just totally not worth the hassle.

I also got a cheap stainless manifold too, spend more money modifying the flamin mongrel to fit and I did on the actual manifold then after a few skids it just cracked. Should have just got a 6 boost or something else awesome.

Also had a shitty 55mm monsta gate that'd jam when it got hot; sometimes open, sometimes closed, not really ideal and it cost me my engine from wicked over boost.

I'm sure there are some people out there that'll say they're OK, but I'd rather just a high flow R34 turbo any day. Or my Garrett GT3076R

You're better off lurking the forsale threads on here and getting some decent 2nd hand gear than getting some shit ebay crap.

Didnt know this thread was still going. What about an R32 factory turbo. 10psi actuator ? Can they be clocked ? I have no water lines on my car so do u think they would crap itself being oil fed only ?

I know this is the wrong section. I put some new wheels on my car yesterday. Hiro gold 19x10.5 and 19x9. Whats yous think. Had to roll the rear guards.

Now i have my cooler to install

More importantly they are a reliable turbo

Wut

Wut

Word.

Not sure why you would have the water lines blocked off assuming it's still rb25.

Rb20 turbo will fit very easy but will struggle to flow any great power ,still probably make 170rwkw on 14psi. If you are on that tight a budget then rb20 turbo really isn't a bad idea assuming your getting it for $50. For $250 you could get a r33 turbo and make 200rwkw with r32 acuator.

If it's still rb25 then grab some standard water lines and bolt them in with a standard turbo and enjoy good power at a cheap price with some reliability.

Oh no sorry dude this isnt for my 33, It was for a different car im going to build. I wasnt sure which turbo would suit but at this stage im gonna go with a Kando. An R32 turbo would be a good option but soon figured i couldnt get the exhaust dump pipe to work. (curves the wrong way to which i need)

You do know you deliberately posted photos of a 33 in that post right?

Going kando cos the stock exhaust don't fit that is the best excuse to upgrade iv ever heard
