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

:wizard:

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.

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
