The new GT30R is being presented to me on the 4/1/06 which is an internally gated T3 flanged turbo with the 0.63 A/R housing. The compressor still flows around 50lbs/min so will be good for power figures near 500hp and still maintain early boost. These will bolt straight on to your existing stock housing with the only change needed being braided oil and water lines. Even with the cost to adapt it, it should still be around the same price as the highflows but with more effieciency so less boost will be required to achieve the same result. PM me if you are interested.

Ok, sorry to get everyone's hopes up but here is the bad news:

The turbo is basically a GT30R with a hole cut in it above the turbine for the wastegate. Then they have bolted this housing thing over the top which has the flapper built into it. They have it all closed off except the turbine hole 2.5 inch which is where the wastegate gases have to exit also. This means that the dump pipe is no longer T3 but a three bolt triangular config and also means that your standard dump will not bolt up to it.

I expressed my disappointment to him about Garrett failing to come up with a decent idea. I showed him how it should have been made and we both can't understand why Garrett chose to do it the way they did.

He is going to get back to me on some grafting options where your existing exhaust housing may be able to be adapted to a GT30R front. This, I am hopeful, will achieve the task.

Other than that....if you don't mind paying $2000 plus an extra $600 in adapting costs, let me know....lol.

    • Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".
    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
