f*k...$2500! no way..even GCG is cheaper. The 1 pictured has strange looking core..for that money theres plenty better out there.

problems...

#1 - 2.5k

#2 - 3076 internals and only a 350-400hp rating?

#3 - because of #2, i would envisage boost control issues are a possibility.

Shop around, better choices

Until recently, you could get the genuine 3076 for sub $2k, then you have $500-700 left over for dump pipes etc. And they are basically a bolt on replacement [well they bolt to the manifold OK]. So for that money you can get more, bugger, brighter, better...........

For a pure bolt on turbo they are good should put out more power then the cgc ones. However that price is market up, you can get those turbos from any garret supplier for 2200 if you talk them down a little. The best price i could get for one of those was 2200. your really better off getting a real gt3076r iw, bit more work involved but the price at then would probably be even cheaper and you get a 525hp rated turbo.

I did get a quote from GCG in Australia. They don't accept trade-in's anymore that is Hi-flow a turbo then send it to me then i send my stock one to them. Price is AUD$1772 and shipping to me is $AUD250. I'm still having doubts since it only lasts for one year as most forum members have stated. Max 2 years depends on driving style. With that price i can still go for the HKS GT-RS or HKS GT2530 Turbo Kit.

Thanks for all your opinions. Really appreciate it.

Who said they last for a year, and where is the evidence?

Most forum members, yet i haven't seen one post... kinda odd

I searched deep into the hi-flowing options using the search button as most forum members suggests before posting a new topic. I did a thorough 1hr searh last time when i found out that GCG turbo lasts for a year. Now i searched for another 30mins to find that post. Please don't make me search again. Looking through the archives is a very time consuming process. Most of the time, i just cut and paste what info i need onto wordpad and lose the http link.

This is the post i was talking about. Next time, please use search.
