[markuszx12]

hi, i am newbie here -- thanks for all the info posted. just bought a 2001 ar-x with 160k, mint condition but the turbo is whistling.

what r the best options.

how much to replace with a good aftermarket jobbie?

and with 160k on the clock is it silly to go for something with more power?

any recs for a good turbo?

can anybody in auckland recommend a good shop? also there are some suspension awd drive issues... if anybody in auck could txt me on 027 202 1996 i would appreciate it.

You may find the whistling is normal, best to find someone else with an M35 in NZ and let them hear it, it may just well be the normal noise that the turbo makes while operating.

Best options if you have a look at the turbo thread we started not long ago (it's got some good information in there) is to high-flow the existing Garrett that is on the car. The turbo is located in such a tight hot space under the bottom of the engine that not much else will fit or function there.

Jetwreck has just high-flowed his in the last few months and from memory he is now over the 100 000k mark. Just depends if the car has been looked after and you think you are going to get a few years more use out of it a high-flow would be ideal
