As the title suggests , doing a manual conversion on an RS4 , 33 ECU and wiring - 2WD with gearbox .

The Turbo is getting old so i thought with the build a new Turbo would be an idea . Now it will be a manual I am thinking a larger/unrated turbo would be beneficial .

I would like to stay with original T3/4 fixings but if that is not a good idea tell me !

Any experience and issues would be a great help .

Head over to the Hypergear turbo thread in the forced induction section; Stao is pulling some pretty impressive numbers with bolt on highflows.

His current one ran 350kw (I think) admittedly E85 on a fabricated manifold, but it looks like a stock r33 turbo.

Getting your old turbo beeefed up has the advantage that it will just bolt straight in. If you have the time you cold post it to Hypergear or there must be local rebuilders although as above Stao from Hypergear has done some great development work. If you want a brand new turbo the Garrett GT3076 could get you 300kw if done right.

I use the garret 3076r 56t with a .63 on mine with a manual awesome turbo and not to much stuffing around to make it fit in my terms , makes 338rwkw on 17psi so more to come yet when I turn the boost up (that's using e85)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
