Hi All,


I have been reading around for a while to try and figure out my next mods.


I like something around 500bhp from fly which i think would be around 400 at wheel, right ?


I don't want to go forge or change cams at this stage .


I have seen gt35,30,28 and number of others but not sure what is best for me .


everyone has a different opinion reading around . what would you get and what is the max power from the turbo at what psi ?


I think gt30 is low mount which is good but gt35 or other are high mount and if i was to run gt 35 , I think it will be very lazy as I will be running it at a very low boost , right ?


I think minimum mod to get to 500 bhp is :


550 or above injectors

bigger intercooler

ecu ( link 4)

turbo .


and possibly manifold if it is not straight bolt on as most people say gt30 is .


am i right ?can i expect safe 500bhp from the car with the above cost and mod ?


if I was to do this in stages and buy the turbo and do no remap but run it at low boost , will it work ?


many thanks

That's what the info is though isn't it?. What people think and have experienced is all over the forum.

You are asking for it to be laid out for you to make it easier for you. Which is spoon feeding.

How did you read for 5 hours and not figure out that an rb25 can easily make that power, that pretty much everyone talks kW, that Hypergear high flows bolt straight on, that a gt35 will be a lag monster etc.....?

You will get heaps of different answers, time to learn and make your own decisions.

You did say you and found lots of dif opinions, so do you expect anything dif from a new thread asking the same thing???

Here ya go, this should get you started, be warned it may take you more than 5hrs of research to learn all thats needed.

Then again maybe not, it all comes down to you.

OK. Even though you don't need assurance, here goes.

You can do it. You can do a good job if you out your mind to it. I believe in your abilities. You're really good at cars. Never give up. Don't stop believing. Keep on being you, you are wonderful.

For someone with limited funds you sure have alot of funds to spend, from your recent threads. Anyway you're asking what turbo's best for you? gtx3076 is what you want. And i mean that in a medical sense.

Trust me, i'm a doctor.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
