Hello all,

I have for sale a GCG XTRGTST-S1 turbo for sale. It's a stage 1 high-flow from GCG. As far as I can tell, it has steel wheels front and back, and is ball bearing.

The turbo is "plated" with the following details, and has GCG written all over it:

S/N: 016085

P/N: XTRGTSTS1

The compressor housing is labelled 16V 12 (R32 housing)

I had this turbo recently running on my R32 4 door. The turbo has no visible shaft play. It ran very well, but was laggier than stock. My mechanic and I agree that this turbo would be a good choice for an RB25DET, or an RB20 with alot of top end power.

The old owner of the car claimed that the car was dynoed at 187rwkw @ 15psi with NO aftermarket fuel system whatsoever. The turbo is rated at 450hp. The turbos are claimed to handle in excess of 20psi with no drama's.

Price Drop! Now going fro $1150ono

Contact me preferebly via PM, or e-mail. I'm located on the Gold Coast.

Can get better pics on request.

Hey mate, how much more laggy was this then the stock turbo? Any idea when it made full boost, is this just the same as the GCG stage one hi flow thats $1950?

Also any idea on how many kms the turbo has been used for?

This is the same one that GCG will do for $1950. It would be the exact same as taking your R32 turbo to GCG, except alot cheaper.

This turbo is laggier than stock. I had a badly un-tuned R32 RB20DET, and I would make full boost (15 psi) at approx 4300rpm, with a stock fuel system. This turbo's efficiency point is somewhere like 6800-7000rpm, and can go higher than 20psi, so thats where you'll be seeing your peak power.

I would recommend this turbo to someone wanting more top end power, as the midrange isn't the best around. This particlar turbo woulds perform much better on an RB25.

I can only guess at the amount of kays this has done, but i'd say 12,500 wouldn't be far off. Turbo has zero shaft play.

As above, and you might wanna change the price in your first post and add a 1 in there somewhere :)

Thanks for letting me know mate :)

so what sort of power would u get on an rb25?

~240kw? would the midrange be better on a 25?

265 rwkw with Tomei Poncams on an R34GTST

275 rwkw on an R33GTST with the slightly larger VG30 turbine cover (maybe worth 10 rwkw extra)

:laugh: cheers :O

Thanks for that SD. I think it does actually have the VG30 turbine? (if not it looks like an R34 item)

As you can see this turbo can pull some nice figures at a good price.

    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
