Buying direct wont help you.

You'll have to go through a company. Try import monster. Or Jesse streeter.

Second hand will save you a couple hundred and won't have waiting periods for manufacturing or shipping.

Mate I hope your pocket's deep enough because if this said outlet even exist, you'd probably be paying around 1.5k each for the rim (say 18x9.5 LMGT4). Most local wheel shops will rip you off. I've asked around when I first got my 33 GTR and 1.5-1.7k is around the mark for each rim quoted by most wheel shops I called.

Thanks but is there an outlet that sells Volk brand new?

Second Streeter. I've dealt with him for 4yrs and have nothing but good reviews for him. Very quick to reply (except in the past where he's gone drifting over the weekend) as I suspect he's got people working for him now (email replies are ridiculously quick).

As Simon mentioned, Streeter is my recommendation if you can wait (at least 2months for seafreight). Else, buying second hand or near new ones locally will save you around 500 for 4 rims (if you're lucky you might get good tyres with them too).

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
