Get it through street to track. He gets them from ATP turbo in the states an I reckon it would be half the price including postage to your door, compared to the gcg link.

The dollar is pretty decent at the moment as well

wow expensive yes!, but then again that is a genuine Garrett housing and EVERYTHING else is aftermarket, they are apparently cast with different materials as well, some high nickel ni-resist material something or rather =S

More or less true yes, but its not worth 900.

Like someone said already itd be worth half that out of the states. Actually let me confirm that...............................

Same genuine item, with a realistic cost (still a lot of money but its swallowable).

I hope that helps.

So this will fit the GTX3076R as well?

different units, different part numbers GCG listing is the dearer version with upgraded wastegate valve.

Still doesn't matter, with the way the dollar is now why wouldn't u buy one overseas hahaha xD

On a different note, +1 on something wrong with set up hahah, blocked/restrictive cat perhaps? you can still make that same power with a 0.63a/r + more, will just run a bit hotter, don't necessarily need a 0.82a/r

So this will fit the GTX3076R as well?

They are interchangeable, only thing that changes in a GTX unit is compressor wheel and surge slotted comp cover

I had the .82 IW garret on mine, then the .63 external now the .82 external.

.82 was a bit laggy, full boost around 4200, .63 full boost by 3500, .82 external at 3800.

all different to drive

Which do you prefer? Do you have a build thread etc? Interesting to hear the differences between the housings :)

I thought gt3076 had a port shrouded compressor inlet as well?

Maybe it was just a pic of the gtx advertised a the gt that I have seen...

You can have it with or without... Mine has the 4in inlet and surge slots, sounds mental too...

yeah id like to know what was preferred most also

No build thread, sadly a bit too muchtime and effort these days. mostly just spam my Facebook with update pics

The .82 internal did its job, but the control of the internal gate is destroyed by external. From that experience if i was to put a large turbo on a car again, IW wouldnt even cross my mind.

the .63 was good, and to be honest it would probably still be on the car if it wasnt for an issue we thought i was having when i put the .63 in there. (turned out not to be the turbo) which was good but id had already bought the .82 to try and solve the issue.

the .82 external isnt very laggy imo, full boost in 4th is around the 3800 mark (19psi) and im pretty happy with that for what it is. overlaying the .63 and the .82 on the dyno the .63 is on about 300-400rpm earlier, but did make a little less in the top end, In saying that 2 mates have the same set up but with a .63 on their neo motor and didnt see the fall in the top end that my 33 did

End of the day car is a daily that sees a bit of track work, so for that effort the .82 is staying on.

the last 2 times we went to do a power run on 19psi turned out to be 40+ degree days. so we never got a proper run. since then ive had a low mount manifold made and installed, and tomorrow ill be going from 3" stainless steel to 4: titanium, so ill try and get some kind of power run in next week

What pressure springs are you guys using in your wastegates, for the earliest response is it best to run as close to the pressure you want

for example, a tial44mm external and want to run say 20psi, what spring pressure would you want ( assuming you have an electronic boost controller)

pretty sure the one in mine is a 12psi spring, so wondering if it would get better response with a 16psi spring in there?

I run 1 bar of spring, then use the mac valve to push boost pressure on to the top of the gate, helping hold it down. Works better with a 5 port mac valve like mine but the 3 port ones can be setup like that too. I can hold any boost now.

looking at my boost curve seems like the spring or the duty cycle was not done right, maybe resulting in a lazy boost curve etc.. looks like its heading for full boost at or before 4000rpm which is whats the norm round here but then take a further 500rpm or more to get from 15 to 18psi, so yeah i think the spring may need changed to a 1 bar spring and the controller adjusted for a more aggressive build up,

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
