sorry for the late post been busy. i did have reciepts but the prob got lost when i moved house cos i cant find em anywhere. i bought it with the intention of putting it on the V6 commo ute i used to have. but i sold the ute cos it wont make it up the driveway of my place. so now i got no need for it.

as the title says i have a gt35/40 internally gated turbo. its new and unused. comes with the the wastegate and a 2xbraided steel oil feeds (different lengths). $1800ono

Forgive the newbie question but why would i buy this turbo over a gt3582R which ive been quoted brand new internally gated for $1850? With the little bit i read i understood these turbos are the same except for the compressor housing. Is it just because it has a ford stamp on it? or am i missing something else. Thanks for your patience and assistance.

its a valid question and u r right they r pretty much the same. but r u sure that price includes the actuator?? plus im throwing in $150 worth of braided oil lines. but hey i'll drop the price. $1700

still after a set of brembos if any1 wants to swap?? also after some 17x9 inch rims if any1 has some and wants to swap for a new turbo?? can do cash either way. bump

    • There are certain tasks, like replacing head gaskets, where it is very much best to already know what you are doing, and if you are not already an expert, then the next best thing is to have an expert around to help it get done. Little annoying checks and steps that are easy to forget or not interpret the results of properly, etc etc. It is hard to convey that to someone as a lesson prior to taking on a job, because there can be a whole list of "if you see this then it means that", or "if this is what you find then you will need to do these other 4 steps first". All the little bits of knowledge around sealant choice (ie, sealant at all? or no sealant? sealant only in certain parts of the gasket? sealant for this type of gasket but not that type of gasket? etc etc) cleanliness checks and methods, surface straightness and finish checks and methods, etc etc, all combine to mean that people who have done many of the same type of job will struggle less to get a good result than someone who hasn't done it before. I've been around this stuff since forever. But I will still consult with my expert(s) before taking on the big stuff with higher risk profile.
    • Well if I end up having to do the head gasket I will certainly find the necessary tools and instructions before beginning... Let's hope it won't come around.   Definitely. Depends on the job but I think "if you want it done right, do it yourself" applies almost every time
    • Can you at least move to a location without so many ladders, black cats and mirrors precariously propped up ready to be knocked down? Or buy yourself a 1 ton bulker bag of salt to drag around with you. Just, you know, sling it over your shoulder?
    • Meh, what's the worst that can happen? If is is supposed to have a washer, and: the spring retainer seals reasonably well on the surface, maybe just allowing a little bleed of oil out, and the spring does not coil bind when compressed that little extra bit, then the end result will be slightly higher relief pressure setpoint, and no other noticeable effects.
    • Weirdly I see a flat washer on aftermarket pumps but as you said it doesn't seem like new OEM pumps have it. EPC doesn't break out the regulator as a separate component either. I'm guessing if the pump came that way it's safe to use as-is.
