its time to choose a turbo for my built 30DET, it used to have a 3582 r china turbo and previously made an easy 330rwkw, im looking for a similar power level, id like a decent responsive set up as the car mainly sees street use, its going to be on e85 so bare that in mind, ive seen lots about the kando turbos so im looking into that, any opinions would be appreciated cheers guys

If it's for predominantly road use I'd consider the GT30 0.82 or T67 10cm would give a decidedly stronger bottom end response.

If it's for predominantly race use I'd go straight to a GT35 0.82 or TD06H-25G 12cm with a good manifold and gate.

None of them are top of the tree but offer good results for modest-moderate $$ outlay.

I take it that the china GT35 didn't perform to your satisfaction?

it will definatly see more street than track as i use the car daily, it sees alway highway use anyway so it will just be cruising more often than not, im not after a huge outlay incase i do want to change to a larger one, i havent used this engine yet i brought it off a guy who had it but it blew the seals in the turbo, im definately feeling the t67 as there is 8 cm 10cm and 12cm rear housing for it

The 10cm should work really well between 2500-5500rpm. A 12cm would push things about 500rpm upwards. Unfortunately they have different outlet flanges so it would take a bit of fabrication work (not much though) to make a change.

A decent manifold + gate setup is highly recommended so you can control boost properly. A scan around various threads will show boost creep to be a common problem.

oh ok the ones i found were all v band flanges though, its got a half decent stainless manifold now, and im looking at getting a turbosmart gate

I got a TD06h-25g 12cm making 460rwhp and its not even pushed hard. it's absolute dream to drive. soo much torque every where. I think anything smaller would just come on way too hard and run out of legs too early.

so its not bad on the street?? thats probably a good thing i wouldnt want it coming on too hard, so which turbo is bigger? td06h 25 or a t67?? cheers mate

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
