Regarding engineering you'll have issues with the following:

  • Vented Bonnet (especially if fibreglass and not ADR approved.)
  • Carbon Fibre Mirrors (Same deal, if not ADR approved)
  • Race Seat (Again, issues if not ADR approved)
  • Gauges (depending on placement)

These are particularly difficult due to the costs involved for the tests if they are not ADR as you'll have to foot the bill proving these meet the ADR requirements, whether they pass or fail.

ECU, turbo, etc is fine if you pass an IM240 test.

Oil cooler should be fine.

BOV is fine if it doesn't vent to atmosphere.

Front Facing Plenum I would have no idea on (this might come under IM240 and review of piping placement)

Airbox - as long as it is covered. Can be a sticking point as some may say it needs to be covered when the bonnet is open, others is fine if it's enclosed with bonnet closed.

I am not an engineer but I have done a lot of research into RMS Engineering, the ADRs and talks with engineers on testing requirements, process, etc.

Hope the info helps.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
