HE checked it all its pretty easy to check as he has the afm in the cooler piping

so he is checking it to make sure its all good

looks pretty perfect cant complain for the price as it didnt cost extra to bolt on and made the same power less 3-4kw of his gt3071

i ran a poorly built monsta t3 about 5 years ago lasted 3 and a half yeaers on 17psi before i sold the car and upgraded ive seen alot of people run turbos off ebay there seems to be more people having problems with cheap inlet manifold and highmounts over turbos

but this turbo doesnt look like many people on here have tried it YET :)

It sounds too good.

He bought an eBay turbo, with a tune for a completely different turbo, bolted up perfectly and ran it, WITHOUT TUNING IT, and made 260rwkw. That is more power than I am making at the moment with a bigger turbo, more boost and a full tune.

he has been giving it a really hard time and no signs of wear of shaft play YET but we will wait and see

lol @ checking for wear and shaft play after less than 24 hours of it being installed... :rofl2:

MOST AWESOME POST EVER ON SAU. Nearly pissed myself laughing

Yet he's considering spending what will likely end up being ~$700 on a temp turbo?

WTF?

Cutting spending on education clearly isn't working. Then again, someone has to fit my tyres....

For the moment, have to call bulls***, as much as i'm for a good cheap deal, this one seems too cheap and too good, and the graph looks like it was done with excel....

If he's actually done it, f*** yeah and well done. full tune and more boost should make ~300rwkw? Good work.

hahaha excel i dont even know how to use word lol

its all legit nothing has been done to alter the reading its a real dyno read from his car with this $400 bolt on turbo

i guess everyone can say what they like at the end of the day its not my car

he wanted to test it and its proven to be really good

y dont others off here try the same if you doubt it

after all its only $400 and could always sell the turbo to the guys on calaisturbo or r31 club

i wonder who else s face palming them selves arfet a 400 turbo tuned for a different turbo makes decent power

    • 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?
