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!

    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
    • Thanks guys - I have been overseas for a hectic many weeks , so haven't had time to chase any of these up.  Some of the suggestions are for 4.1 ratio, which I already have, and a 3.5 at Lonsdale, which is also too tall.  Really looking for 3.9 or even a 3.7 LSD, either with M12 bolts. Will look some more.
