Hks2835pros Or Gt3040r

[ECR033]

Al, thanks for the info (only noticed your post today). I did read something a little while ago about someone doing the hiflow with VG30 exh housing and getting good results. I'll look into it as well - and yes, it's also added to my confusion

porschephile, definately post up the dyno chart from your friends car if you can - i'd be very interested to have a look. I assume that your friend has the GT2835 with the .87 turbine housing?

Also, just having another look at the Nengun website. They have the 2835's on special for $2,560 delivered to Sydney

One question though, they have 2 versions of the GT2835 with A/R 0.87...one with Strong Actuator attached 80mm diameter and the other with 100mm diametre.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly does the actuator do and which choice would be better for my application?

The wastegate actuator controls the amount of boost that is pushed through the turbo by pushing excess exhaust gases through the wastegate. The harder the spring is the harder it will be to open the wastegate thus controlling boost.

Thanks Lanfoh, that makes sense.

It still begs the question though, which is the better option for my application - the 80mm diameter or 100mm diameter?

Not sure which actuator is better, as i am note that technically minded, i usually ask the turbo experts that type of question and allow them to make the decision for me .

About my combo and your decision, if you could hold off for about 3 weeks i should most definately have a dyno graph to post up. Head has already been sent to be ported, turbo sent to be upgraded, ecu out to be upgraded, cams have arrived, it's all moving quite nicely
