OK im searching around for a bigger turbo I'm not after some stupid amount of horsepower, my goal is approx 200kw at the rear wheels.

On seach prices brands etc well i was looking around $2000 give or take . On Ebay i found a online performance shop that sells T04E brand new for under $550

Is anyone running this model turbo as i am woundering if its worth the money?

Also has anyone had Hicas problems after changing to an aftermarket steering wheel

I'd be leaning towards a second hand hks2510 or 30 for that sort of power or a second hand gcg highflow r33 turbo and sell your stock one. Either could be had for about 1500 or less.

You could also pick up a new genuine garrett turbo with your budget.

i have been running a s/h gcg highflow that i bought for 1500 for a year and a half now, total of about 60k since i've owned it and it is still in beautiful condition, no shaft play or thrust movement.

The highflow r33 turbo will also be a bolt on option as opposed to the VL turbo which will require a modified dump pipe.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
