Welcome to the forum mate.

I dont think you posted a pic? I cant see it.

There are many workshops i can recommened who have excellent service.

Just depends on where you live and if you are willing to travel a bit etc..

Also mods do you want done?

Anwyays i recommened ricol automotive at peakhurst. Have excellent service skills and know there imports really well.

Have got many things done by them.

Search the forums and you will find more lists of workshop.

Enjoy your new car

I don't want to be alarmist.....but if you are running 17psi on stock turbos you *will* blow one or both of them sooner or later. And then often little bits of ceramic exhaust wheel make their way into the bores, scoring them like crazy before block oil feeds and causing a bearing to spin. Leaving you with a totally screwed motor and $6k bill.

Turn the boost back down to 12-14psi and get high-flowed standard or aftermarket turbos before you turn it up again

yeh.. or leave it as it is, and have the same title under your userid as Duncan..

Experience speaks volumes

thanks for the great advice fellow members . i had the boost wound down to 14psi today.

my car seems like it go's so slow now.

the last thing i needed was blown turbo's or engine

i was an owner of a s15,and it used to run 17psi all day long with no problems at all. and it had factory turbo. So i thought the gtr would handle it no problems. . .

[R-PWR]

Std s15 turbo yeah you will have no probs even getting up to 20psi, but gtr definelty anything over 15psi or even on 15 isnt very good on the turbos and could turn ugly.

GTR turbo's have ceramic wheels that fall off and can disintegrate when they are spun too hard... ie>14psi.

Conratulations on the GTR! I bet you're loving life

The power will feel amazing for about, say, 6-8 weeks.

Then you'll want more
