Be very careful with what you buy CHEAP!

In the performance world NOTHING is cheap, that's any good. A short time ago, ebay & other outlets were flooded with supposed US made T70 turbo's for $300~500.00, but truth was they were Chinese knock offs that were shipped to Australia via USA and they were junk. Go talk to Sam at Dr Drift in Melbourne, because he had one on a customers car and it WOULD NOT spool up.

As I said, NOTHING is cheap in the performance car world!

Cheers, D

I've got a brand new genuine garrett of simular size,T4 flange for $400

That's very interesting, because ............... if you talk to Garrett at their head office in Chipping Norton NSW, they DO NOT MAKE a T04 flanged turbo of any description.

I researched this for your DR30 as I have an HKS high mount turbo manifold with a T04 flange and Garrett cannot supply me with a turbo of ANY size to fit it.

You might find you have a Chinese knock off???????

Cheers, D

lol i was not born yesterday.. but thanks for your imput its cheap but from Garret direct so cheap because there is no middle man, thing is they have to be ordered in such a way to still look like its a part for a hyandai digger so there for im looking for a good size from a digger that will suit the car. if not no big drama..

It's a internal wastegated T04B meant for a komatsu digger.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
