I thought speedworks only tune autronic and motec so someone said at speedworks. Same person said I needed a trust manifold for my td06 which was about $4k.

You can fit an external wastegate turbo to the stock manifold without modifying the manifold. You just attach the wastegate to the exhaust housing. My td06 was done in this manner.

My car was a dead stock unit when I brought it in from japan. Stock airbox, exhaust, like it was just from the factory. It was making around 6-7psi, then I added a cat back exhaust and it picked up to about 8psi. I then put in a ebc and ran 12psi on the stock turbo day in and out and I sold it when I upgraded to the td06. The turbo was still in excellent condition, thats about the max boost I would run on a day to day basis on the stock unit.

I wont be doing internals either, and I should make 370rwhp reliably.

I'd say that cooler has been made with a 500-700hp GTR in mind. Its very large and has the twin entry's for the 2 turbos.

gtst-vspecs car is making 368rwhp with stock injectors and I think I will make near the same once I get my wolf3d ecu in.

Stuff he has in stock only takes 4 or so days tops. Stuff he gets in is usually around 10 days.

Try www.nengun.siteblast.com.au, go to trust and you will see that the intercooler kit is quite reasonably priced. True that price does not include gst, but you may not pay gst on it *wink*. Anyway, the kit is complete and for most people more than enough, cheaper than some aussie kits.

For that amount of money you could have had a trust vspl cooler. Nengun sells them for about 80,000yen delivered to your door (about $1070 going on current exchange rate) the only mods you need to do is make a hole for the plenum pipe to come up like yours has. Personally I think the welds look shocking and nowhere as neat as a jap cooler. Sorry, but these are a forum and I am entitled to my opinion

I think they can give you a yellow for pillar mounted gauges as well, cos they can distract/block your view.

After having a truck driver clean up my rear spoiler cos she didnt like it Vulcan panel and paint in canning vale fixed it up for me, as well as removing my 1/2 hanging out bootlock latch, fixing a metal panel in place, and respraying my boot. I didnt pay for the spoiler work, she did, but I paid for the bootlock job and re-spray all up it cost me $250 and its a damn good job. I was a bit skeptical at first, cos I was forced into using Vulcan (the truck driver's boss had an account there) but the job came up tops after all. I can also recommend rev210's brother, he's a spraypainter for a panel shop in malaga, they also do high quality work but his boss is a bit exxy. He did my sideskirts and rear pods for me and they are tops as well

Stock boost is around 6psi with a full turbo back exhaust it usually jumps to 7-9psi on its own without a bleed valve. You can safely run 12psi with the stock intercooler and stock turbo all day every day, there are a few cars on here doing it now. Work out a budget and how much HP you want and then read the forced performance thread. Or you can ask people like paul (gtst-vspec), adam 32 or myself as we have done our turbo's. obtw: with stock boost and crappy old stock boost gauge should hover around 1/2 between 0 and +7, but its so hard to read and drive at the same time.

Yeah he made some tool up, but its a bitch to use apparently

Yeah I realise my typo now.

Sounds like a good price

For $70 is that an alloy one? or have they just used an old rb25det one and re-made it to be adjustable?

As for the leak in the middle bit I didnt understand that either. Sounded like the guy didnt really know what he was talking about, eitherway, if steve reccomended the other guys I'll try them

I havent really got easy access to the injectors still have the stock plenum in the way. I was just thinking it'd be worth pulling them out, cleaning them and checking the flow before I start leaning on the engine with the ecu tune. I think I might try these people, how/when can I get one of those vouchers off you gradenko?

Is it worth getting them cleaned and tested for flow? If so who does it, I just rang united fuel and they want $40/injector and the guy (wayne or warren) said that 1 out of every 10 leak from the middle and they dont warranty that.

450bhp @ the engine? I assume it is. I plan to have about 370hp at around the 1bar mark on my turbo and it'll stay like that till I do pistons.

Also given time you get used to the power and generally want more I think that the best policy should be buy products with enough headroom should you want to upgrade to more power. ie: if I want more power now I just run more boost but I have to put other supports in place for that; ie pistons, bigger injectors. etc

The problem I have had when modifying my car has been "at what point am I satisfied with the power". Its hard to know at what point, or hp, you will be satisfied with it as in the end you'll want more. And because you thought you'd be satisfied with the 320hp turbo, you'll find you will now have to sell it to buy the 450hp turbo, or the 550hp turbo and so it goes on. I'm not disagreeing with sydneykid, as I also believe you need to match as many parts to each other to get an overall excellent package, its just hard to know how much you want. I've got a turbo that will support 450-500hp, an intercooler that will support 500hp flow, but I find the turbo a little laggy and slow. I'm hoping with the new ecu and a HKS cam gear that will help the response. I may also look into the lightweight flywheel, lightweight pulleys (if anyone makes them) for better engine response and maybe some cams.

Sold or you hanging onto it?

Shootout mode is where all the correction values are locked so they cant be tampered with, or so I thought?
