Err all gtst's have a factory cooler. It just isnt that great. I ran my stock rb20 turbo at 1 bar with stock cooler for ages and it was fine. But it is a good idea to get a good frount mount if your going to push the boost up.

You can get a kit with everything incuded for about $1400, hybrid or HKS are good and around that price range. I dunno what your mate is smokin telling you to get a vr4 cooler?

Oh and typing in english also helps.

na been talking to my mate he said that the supra coolers flow pretty well but i been talking to my mechanic and he recons he can get a custom cooler kit with wich would be able to help the turbo handle 16 psi 4 around 1500 i thought that would be the better option than buying a cheep alternitive .

by the way has ne1 had a claim or is insured bye enthusiast car insurance there based in qld and due to me been only 18 and them accepting to insure me at 2600 per anum i thought it might be a bit dodgy

thanks

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
