Hi would appreciate if anyone knows where i could get a turbo (without having to rob another bank) that will fit on the T3 flange (replacement for stock turbo as this has gone Caput after a couple of weeks at 13psi). Would prefer some sort of replacement that did not involve modifying intake or exhaust (ie buggar all alterations required!).

Currently have 190rwkw -- and have upgraded fuel pump, cooler, pfc, boostcontroller, pod, full turbo back exhaust, still running stock a/f transmitter - might look at replacing this aswell as is peaking out.

Looking for whatever would give me a reasonable gain without strengthening engine internals ie to about 250 RWKW -- maybe 300. --> Can this be done cheaply on the stock T3 flange -- is it possible to keep my split fornt/dump pipe for the stock turbo.

May even consider a rebuilt hiflow stock turbo if the above gets too expensive!

Cheers.... Chris

Thats what my tuner recommended aswell - but where can i get one of these 2nd hand or rebuilt?

Anyone got one of these for sale or a highflow stock turbo?

Cheers... CHris :)

    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
