as with all e-bay jokes... dont go near them

If you want to boost your engine at 10 ponds or over (Strongly Not recommended)  you need:

aftermarket pistons  

Aftermarket Head gasket.  

The maximum recommended Boost on this turbo is 14 Ponds. We are not responsible of servicing this turbo if its been blown by stress of over boosting.

they have got to be joking? this company by stating such has no idea about the product they are selling or the applications it will be used on.

But something from a reputable dealer mate. And save ourself the hassle

E-Bay itmes are no-no's for the msot part

you get what you pay for in the turbo world ... to create a well balanced high performance turbo you need a LOT of :

a: experience

b: tooling

c: research

d: high quality manufacturing

all of these equal a product that is not cheap ....

but you take you chance, maybe you'll get a decent turbo, or maybe you'll be wasting your $600 .. i know i'd like to know that even as tho i paid just under 2k for my turbo, i KNOW it a good turbo and is not going to let me down, or if it does, then i have a warranty with a reputable company ...

just my .02c

Have a look at all the photos in here: http://digi-hardware.com/photos/Turbos/ The workmanship looks pathetic.........

Shonky as! Who uses a phone battery to hold up a turbo? cmon! At the end of the day dude just save your pennies for a good brand name turbo like HKS, GARRETT etc etc and you should have minimal problems.

After everything said above, no one has mentioned that the turbo pictured has t2 flanges and so wont bolt onto a skyline.

It actually states in the literature that an after market manifold is required if the turbo doesn't fit. :) gold

Gotta love the arret stamp.

Sprucy those things look really rough , can vouch nothing Garrett about them . No doubt the PRChina will get better , Garrett needs to look out if they start manufacturing bearing and seal kits for GTBB Turbos . It seems the US turbo shops can rebuild the GTBB's , its only lack of spares that's stopping us ATM . Its high time Jeff got the finger out and started the ball rolling here .......................

Going a bit off topic. Some of the other china replica parts such as the replica intercoolers for example, are they half decent for the price they ask for them? Or are they just a crappy brand that is going to crap itself in a couple of months time?

intercoolers are different because they dont have any moving parts

so there is not much that can really go wrong with them

the hybrid copies that are going around are a good cooler

great value for money

i know a couple mates that have em and couldnt be happier

mate, that turbo looks fully sick. especially considering that Digi-Hardware designed and built it themselves. I mean who hasn't heard of digi-hardware? they are at the forefront of turbo technology I'm sure. the only problem is, they state that you will need 50cc injectors, and I don't know where you can buy ones that small. hmm, maybe take out all your injectors except two. that should be sweet.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
