its hiflowed, it has larger wheels and clearly a bored-out housing for both compressor and turbine.

i like how they clean them up and make them look like new!!

Ok so it's a refurbished stock one and not a completely new one. .

yup! but it will be just like a brand new one as its got new bearings, new wheels, new centre as well (i think that is the oil and water channels) and the housings have been bored and cleaned out. its not a new turbo, but its a new turbo.

looks the goods Danny....also noticed your exhaust impeller has one more fin than mine......might help it boost up quicker.

LOL I like the fact that you counted the fins. . . Do you have Turbo Fin envy. . . . ha ha ha

How's your tubo cranking these days anyway ? Had it on the dyno yet? I've been a slacker and haven't had a tune yet.

Sounds good, you have to let us know what power she is making. I put a walbro into mine and now it seems to be runnung alot better, had some funny issues with the fuel pump wiring. All good now. Waiting to do my tax to finish off my suspension. Put new bushes and compression rods in the front drives heaps better now. Let us know how the Haltech goes. :angry:

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
