is that the high mount kit off ebay??

if it is how does it go?

[Guilt-Toy]

Look at that front housing. I dont think garret would let that kinda work out of their factory.

[NYTSKY]

MAN! That housing has seen better days

Particularly if it's a new unit, I would be looking for some sort of build plate on the centre cartridge to identify its specifications.

I don't know that I'd have any issues with some casting imperfection on that comp cover though. It's either structurally flawed, or just a cosmetic thing. Pull the cover off and have a look inside. That will tell you whether to be worried about it or not.

I do think there needs to be a bit of re-orientation of the centre section so that the oil dump is facing downwards, and not upwards though.

where did you get the turbo from

[discopotato03]

If that's an RB20 I'd say its going to be real laggy mainly because of the big heavy T04 turbine it looks like it has .

For RB20's I think you can do better with the std exhaust manifold and a more modern turbocharger .

that turbo was not made by garrett.

Went for a drive in a RB20 with a 700HP turbo on it the other day, i was unimpressed, never been in a car that actually came off of boost during a gear change and had to build up boost again.T04e's are very, very outdated man, i personally would be going something more modern, the lag that thing is going to have is a joke. Each to their own i suppose.

Innovative made me a custom T04 with an O trim and the rest built almost identical to a 3582R I am making 480whp on my GTS4 at 1.4 bar with very little lag but my car has a Stagea Rb25det in it... on my Rb20det with this same turbo I was making just shy of 420 due to weak injectors and fuel peaks and it wasnt very laggy at all...

I would say get a hybrid built I payed 980 bucks plus shipping 2 years ago... and its ball bearing...
