how much to hiflow r33 turbo??

[KRiMiNaL]

how much would it cost to hi flow my turbo on average ive got no idea about the price range. And would it be cheaper to get an aftermarket turbo??

[tridentt150v]

Talk to Brett at GCG, I was quoted $1950, actual cost $1169.40 including postage and insurance [which I requested].

I removed and replaced the turbo myself, you also have to replace the coolant, and oil + filter, so add $100.

[fresh]

how come it worked out so much cheaper, i'd consider it at $1200 but $2000 is a big jump

[tridentt150v]

Don't know, that is probably their site unseen quote. Once they get into it, maybe some turbo's don't require as much work. You'll have to talk to Brett.

I paid around $2100.00 that included a new HKS actuator.

[KRiMiNaL]

yeee u got it for a good price. On the website it says $2450 for a hi flow, is that a diff type of hi flow or sumfin to urs?

[tridentt150v]

No, don't know them at all.

Don't exactly know what they did [how much can they do other than hiflow and bearings]. There is only one stage = hiflow, there are no extra stages, they don't have different levels of performance.

Went from 51.2/71mm to 56.3/76mm, had ball bearings already, so didn't need converting, just new bearings. And then bigger [obviously] props.

I just bolted it straight back on and used it [getting a power fc and a remap coming up, but still works fine till then].

And as far as I know, it was a std GTS-t turbo, I rang and asked Brett about it, and he said it was bog stock and in good condition [i wanted more power and extra reliability + efficiency]. He couldn't tell me how much work it had done. I know the turbo has been off before, the oil and water pipe brackets were disconnected, and I don't think it would leave the factory like that.

Don't take too much notice of the prices on the website, they are WAY out of date. Give them a call or see them in person and you will find that the prices aren't so bad after all.

[Mr GTS4]

for that amount of money why not just go and bought a bigger better turbo that a company has designed for your car?

[benm]

The GCG Hiflow is fine for 250-270rwkw depending on your setup. Not bad for $1,200.

[tridentt150v]

You won't get sh1t for $1200. Some clapped out peice of garbage that needs major mods to fit.

For a hiflow, you get basically a brand new [yours cleaned up and refurbished] turbo that is easily capable of 250rwkw, plus it bolts straight up, no mods needed, everything fits.

Unless you want something that is undriveable on the open road, and a stressed out 2.5 motor [i know, I know, it can be pumped up more], the hiflow is a win win option.

I didn't want a race car, or a 300+ fuel guzzlin' beast, the hiflow suited me.

[KRiMiNaL]

yee tridentt150v your right, for the price its great, and i dnt want a drag car jst a nice powerful street car.

[MANWHORE]

Can someone else confirm that it actually is 1200? because I remember reading other posts on here, that people say it's around 1850 depending on what's done.

For 1850, i'd go off and get something else, but for 1200, definitely a highflow. If someone else can confirm that GCG does it for 1200, I might go get it done.

[benm]

Give them a call or drop in and visit them !

[dangerous_daveo]

Is that with or without steel wheels???

[GroundRun]

Do also remember that in the case u get EPA'd the stock highflowed turbo wont bring much attention, whereas with the aftermarket turbo ur asking for trouble. Thats just another point to consider.

BTW i was quoted 1500 to highflow my turbo, not sure how much it is in Sydney tho.

[tridentt150v]

All the questions you ask can only be answered by GCG or who ever you get to do the job. I made my decision, I'm happy with the results.

[Lepperfish]

Yeah i paid 1800 or so and got the upgraded 12psi wastegate acutator as well..

Great results here.

I have used several GCG ball bearing hi flows and never had a problem, they make the power and obviously fit up perfectly. If you add in ALL the costs, the hi flow is very hard to beat.
