Its a 4" intake off the turbo reduced to 3" to pod filter. Tuner reccomends a better flowing rear housing and a bigger turbine wheel.

He also mentioned when they unbolted the exhaust it gained 20rwkw.

Then u have an exhaust restriction

If he gained 20rwkw from unbolting the exhaust (which does sound like a restriction for sure), raise the boost to about 18psi and add a few degrees of timing from removing the restriction, still sounds like he'll still be falling abit short of where the GTX3076R should be?

Spot on. But with the restriction gone anything can happen

Very true mate. Will be interesting to see what happens when he gets it re-tuned after removing the restriction.

Keep us updated with how you go GotsWapan :)

With the non-garrett turbine housing possibly being the rest of the problem we might have the answer.

IMHO, if I had my time again I would opt for a low-mount over a high-mount simply due to the EPA emissions risk when the po-po pop the bonnet.

With a low-mount, you can keep it hidden and stealth looking if you play your cards right. With a high-mount, it doesn't matter what you paint black or how much heatshielding you use, there's no hiding the aftermarket turbo.

Try sort out the issues with the low-mount if you can, but if you really want a high-mount..... just buy my car instead. I've already sorted out all the headaches, just jump in and drive hahaha :P

bigger turbine wheel??? maybe the tuner is the problem too.. be better off with an external gate on the 0.82rear, the internal 0.82 costs more anyway..

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
