Im not to sure what i should be going for and i was looking for feed back/advice on what other people are running and what power figures they are getting. Currently im running stock turbo and i use the car for drift.

The slide turbo's appear to offer a cheap excellent value upgrade.

I couldn't bring myself to spending 2k on a GCG highflow for only 250rwkw odd. Spend another couple hundred and throw a tidy little GT3076r 500hp turbo on the side of it, thicker headgasket, 20-22odd pounds of boost and you'll have a damn good attempt at cracking 300rwkw. :rofl:

Shaun at Boostworx doesn't have issues having the rb25's holding together at such power levels/boost so it may be worth speaking to him to see what he recommends with regards to your spool expectations etc.

depending on what horsepower you want, when you want it to hit full boost, what mods you have done to your engine already

determine what turbo you should choose, i suggest you see an expert.

cause you dont want to waste all your money on something thats not going to suit your aplication

thats just what i think

I got my GT3076R turbo recently from ATS (Adelaide Turbo Services) and its going extremely well. Havent had a single issue yet and it looks extremly tidy and has stock appearance. Of course for now I have gone the option of using a Rb25 stock exhaust housing for the turbo but once I decide to get more power and redo the dump I'll get a different one put on. @ the moment looking for ~240kw or so before my engine shits itself then I'll have my own crack at 300kw with a different setup on the same turbo.

Paul, did you end up having the std compressor housing machined up to suit or did Bill simply use the gt30 comp cover and run a silicon elbow to the ic piping?

      r34's love to squeal

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
