Hks Gt2835 Pro S Turbo Finally Arrived

[Turbz RB-25]

Hi guys,

I FINALLY received my HKS GT2835 Pro S kit from Nengun after waiting almost 2 months.

I thought I might take some pics to show everyone what's included in the kit:

1) Turbo itself (HKS GT2835 Pro S)

2) HKS Dump Pipe

3) Intake suction pipe

4) Elbow to connect to standard intercooler piping

5) HKS heat shield

6) Oil and water lines

7) Silicon hoses, clamps, nuts and bolts and other small parts.

Now, I've taken a pic of the 'serial' number on the turbo but I can't seem to identify anything.

How do I know that I've received the 0.68 A/R housing and not the 0.87? Can the gurus out there tell me how to identify this turbo appropriately?

Cheers.

By the cartridge number (700177-5003) its the right one for a "GT2835" Pro S .

If you look inside the turbine housings inlet flange (mounting flange) it may have a number cast into it just inside . If it does it'll say something like 0.68 or 0.87 which is the A/R size .

Yes you're right, I just had a look and it had cast into it '68'. I'm assuming they mean 0.68... haha

Thanks very much for your help discopotato!

One more question guys,

after close inspection of the turbine wheel, it looks as though it had been chipped or grinded.

As you can see in the pics, it seems as though when they manufactured it, they did it purposfully.

Do you think it has something to do with balancing, like they purposely did it to balance it?

I know when something spins as fast as a turbo does, the slightest amount of weight difference on the opposite side will through it out of balance and it will wobble. (Same principal as a wheen on a car)

Has anyone else come accross this issue with their turbo???

Thanks

They think they do this to balance the tubo. Ive seen alot more of the centre nut removed than what you have there.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Good luck with the install etc.
