Hey, I did the job over a year ago. Everything fitted up very easily (banjos included) except for the fact that the VG30 does not have an elbow from the outlet (instead it has the small straight adapter thing).

The RB20 elbow is too small to bolt onto the VG30 (I am not sure about the RB25 which is slightly larger) so you need to get an elbow made by an exhaust place or something.

This is quite an easy job. If you find out if an RB25 elbow fits or not I would be very interested to find out.

Thanks.

all you need to do is buy a 90 degree piece of silicone to replace the elbow and all lines bolt straight up except for the oil inlet line you need to change the fitting for this.

Pirteck or similar will be able to help you max $80 for a entirely new braded line! or 10-20 for a new fitting,

Good luck mate,

Blair

Here are the pics of what I did for an elbow. It looks pretty uuuugly! R31 Koop do you have a picture of the elbow you used? Does the silicon hose you use change the pipe diameter or do you have another piece to do that?

Regarding the fitting, I didn't need to make any changes. Mine has the ball bearing centre though - R31 Koop do you know what yours is?

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
