hey guys, i was looking at getting a GT3071R with a 0.64 rear housing on a T25/T28 flange. was wondering if this would push to much boost for my stock internals. i currently only have 255L fuel pump , 3" turbo back exhaust, FMIC. i would obviously be getting a ECU remap straight after and have already got a boost EBC. ANY HELP PLEASE ? my goal at the moment is 200rwkw+ but am looking to go further in the future and what a turbo to support this statement!

Theres heaps on here about how much the stock internals take, but I think anything much more over that your usually relying on the motors past history and chance etc.

I think the turbos a good choice, im actually looking at getting one myself - good tradeoff between response and power it seems

No the biggest factor is it won't bolt to your exhaust manifold , T25/28 flanged exhaust housings are too small at the inlet for 6 leg exhaust manifolds . You really need someting with a T3 flanged exhaust housing .

A .

Surprised it took that long for someone to point that out...even the dump pipe won't fit...and if you are chasing only 200rwkw or so then you are looking at the wrong turbo...

same turbo with different exhaust housing is 280rwkw capable though.

for 200 ideally get yourself a hks 2510 or 2530, pricey and getting old though if second hand. The problem you have is that all of the small frame garrett turbos are t2 flanged, the smallest t3 flanged one is the 3071.

You could get your stock turbo highflowed, but even they are generally optimised for power around the 250rwkw mark so you have the response trade off.

Or you could talk to a turbo shop about getting a t28 cored turbo fitted to a modified stock exhaust housing. I would suggest a gt2860rs if you are going to be happy with low 200's, 2871 if you want a bit more.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
