Guys this an unfinished project of mine, I didnt put the TO4 comp wheel on cause i have decided to sell my car. My intentions was to do the same mods that BOOSTED has done the only stage i got up to was machining the exhaust snout from 42mm to 52mm. Not sure how it would work on an RB20 but i know that BOOSTED has gotten upto 266rwkw

The non ball bearing vg30 turbos came with a steel exhaust turbine so i have been told. The VG30 Ball bearing came with a ceramic. With the mods that have been done to this turbo you dont need to run high boost to achieve good power. BOOSTED ran his @.9bar and got 266rwkw

Correct. This turbo has a ceramic wheel which results in sledge hammer style boost build. This turbo will not run more than 16-17psi boost due to the trim on the turbine. Due to the larger compressor wheel, the turbo spins at 90,000rpm instead of 121,000(t3) @ 15psi. Ceramic turbine failure is very very unlikely. Even at 17psi rpm is only 96,000.

I have constantley made 250+rwkw on 4 different dyno's on 14-17psi.

if you can't afford tyres DO NOT BUY tHIS TURBO- I was getting wheel spin on acceleration in 4th with 18" 275's. Good turbo for drift.....not very good for the hills as boost hits way to hard.

RB25 would expect FULL boost by 4100rpm

RB20 would be slighly later

Boosted sold me a steel wheel version quite a few

months ago. Will finally be putting it on after auto

salon.

MADGT4 i also have a 32 gts-4 so i will advise as soon

as it is installed and running. Most people are saying

i should make around 200 rwkw with 1 bar of boost.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
