Hey all,

Who can tell me the technical difference between the 450HP hi flow and 500HP hi flow turbos that GCG offer ?? (and don't say 50 HP please)

I'm sure Sydneykid et al will know....

Is it that the 500HP job can handle more boost or does it flow better ? And if so , why ?

Thanks in advance.

GCG Got back to me with this:

The wheel sizes within the turbocharger are larger on the stage 2

conversion. Compressor wheel is a H trim TO4, turbine wheel is a T34 79 trim.

I need an interpreter !!!

What does all this mean ???

How can I identify if I have a Stage I or Stage II ?

Take your turbo off - you will find you have the same thing.

I cant even get the heatshield off - it must have been tightened by someone stronger than me when they did the turbo and leaking gasket down there.

I was pointing it out just in case it could have been a problem.

    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
    • People don't always want builds that are overly expensive, or have engineering/registration/insurance issues and head aches that come with them Whilst big dollar builds, and complicated stuff is interesting to watch, there is only a tiny % of people who would actually use this information, or have the spare finances to drop on said builds, whereas the buy a cheap(ish) cool car, and make it better, with a average budget, that the average Joe or Jane could achieve will always be a winner in my opinion 
    • Bit of a thread revival, you mentioned wanting a bit more top end before, do you regret not going with the 1.01?
    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
