only the bastardised ones with "bolt on" rear housings have cropped turbines. the proper gt30s with a proper IW housing have the 60mm turbine

All Garrett GT turbos have cropped wheels except the 60mm one. And the 60mm version came out after the rest so it isn't even the 'original' 3071 that everyone claims it to be.

go cut 4mm off your turbine and leave it in the same housing, see how it goes.

find out exactly what cartridge you have then find a housing to suit. you cant use a gt30 housing designed for a gt30 turbine if you have a cropped 56mm turbine.

Where are you getting this information?

4 of the 5 GT3071R's come with cropped turbines. I think you are getting your facts mixed up

yes they do, but they all come with t25 flanged turbine housings too. the only t3 one is the full 60mm version, which is the one everyone on here always talks about and trys to get

Yeah, the one this guy has is the 700382-12 with a VG30 rear housing though. Sonic do a 0.73 rear housing that can be machined to suit everything from a GT2860RS to a GT3076R -12. It's a T3 flange and Skyline dump compatable.

That is the housing he needs to go to.

It flows more than the VG30 housing so it will take care of his power fall-off problem

if i got .82 rear how much response will i lose

If you go to a 0.82 rear housing you will need to use the stupid XR6 dump flange so it will need to be modified.

The typical response lose expected from 0.6 - 0.8 would be somewhere around 400 rpm.

But you also have a smaller, more restrictive housing on at the moment.

Moving to the 0.7 rear will allow more flow all round and will retain the skyline 6 bolt dump pattern.

I would say - expect 1 bar at approx 3800 (as that turbo is known to be particularly laggy)

17.4psi before 3k? That sounds ridiculous, I mean my stock R34 turbo only hits full boost (10.5psi) at about 3200rpm and I thought stock turbos are the some of the most responsive turbos out there... Is my turbo laggy or something?

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
