A big shout out to Scotty NM35 for all his help and skinned knuckles with the removal and install of my turbo!

New shorter core produced quite a few install issues and problems for Scott along the way. But he endured and I have boost again!

Coupled with a 'Scott Dump Pipe' and actuator mod, there is a definite extra kick.

Thanks so much Scott. Love your work.

No problem Dominic, glad to help. Did you get underneath and check it out?

Not very happy with the way this turbo was installed, too many mods required to make it a feasible option. That said the stock like response felt good for an untuned engine.

You are lucky I waived the bandaid tax, costs could have blown right out. :)

Welcome Dominic

Yeah, I hear Scotty does OK work :)

What turbo did you get?

Cheers, Leon.

Lol ok? There were SOOO many problems Scott had to fix after getting the turbo back.

Someone left the door open again, daym wastlanders...

It was the "stock" sized wheels that Stao just designed, only hassle was the chra was 21mm shorter meaning the compressor housing and everything hanging off it was 21mm further back.

I won't be fitting another one of these.

Sounds like the same issue that Craig had when his 3071 highflow went on.

Pick up yo phonnnneee nigggahh

Exactly, even though I was promised it would fit as he had already sold two of them. It's easy to fit when someone else is doing the work though.

Haven't had a chance to climb under and look as yet... Got home from work in the dark yesterday, then back here this morning in the dark! Things one has to do to pay for repairs to a shagged M35 turbo!

Really impressed by the acceleration. As you said, close to stock. Very linear and coming on from approx 2500rpm with the extra kick.

My original post certainly didn't describe just how much stuffing about you had to do. Word of warning for anyone else going down this path... Speak to Scott and he will say, DON'T, I am sure.

Thanks for waiving the bandaid tax - with the number of cuts suffered, the cost would easily been higher than the value of the car!!

That was a mighty big look of relief in the rear view mirror, when I drove off - clearly happy to see my car disappear!

    • Yeah you can. Cable tie the gauge to a windscreen wiper, or run it into the car and hold it with one hand, or have the neighbour's kid run alongside and tell you what it says.
    • I've never understood why this bothers people. Surely you'd be looking at a T3 flanged Garrett style thing, rather than a TD? You're unlikely to push a +T hard enough to need that much fuel. If you're not starting with most of the things you need to do that (ie, the bloody ECU!), you're better off just going Haltech/Link. You wil hate life a lot less. No. Just no. Just turbo it as is.
    • Have you noticed if the squeak changes with temperature or after driving in the rain?
    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.
