I'm sure this topic has been done before, but i'm having trouble finding the info i need
i'm sure this is a common thing to do..so if anyone can offer so advise please
I have an R33 with the usual mods incl, FMIC, Wolf 3D, 3" turbo back exhaust, pod, etc.
I was looking to upgarde my standard turbo with steel wheel etc. to have relyable boost
keeping it in the standard mounting position to save on modifications
I rang a couple of places and was quoted between $1800-$2300 to upgarde internals (gt30 hybrid) on standard turbo
and $600 - $1000 for mounting (depending if the manifold needs to be removed) plus tuning
So it looks like costing around $3000 to upgrade using my standard turbo, which seems quite expensive
& without upgrading my injectors & fuel pump..i'll be looking @ around 230 rw/kw @
it is already making 200 rw/kw @ which is quiet adiquite for me.
does this sound about right? How have others upgarded their turbos & how much does it cost?
where is a good place to get it done? Would i be better off buying an aftermarket turbo?
will an aftermarket fit in original spot without modifying my intercooler & exhaust piping?
