For all those interested, I got it brand new from Greenline Performance. Jason was an absolute champion to deal with and despite being told that I probably won't get it til early april to due stock out, here I am with it. I'd prefer not to publicly announce the price but it was consderably cheaper than what a speed shop here would sell it for. There obviously were cheaper alternatives but end of the day, it's still a brand new HKS turbo. I was lucky and didn't get stopped by customs so no GST or import tax for me.

Will let you know how she goes once I bolt it on. More comparison photos between this and stocker on way too.

Hmm.....drag combat eh....sorry Paul, if anything else goes wrong with the car now i'd be too far up sh!t creek financially to recover and still keep the car. Not willing to push it at this point in time cause I need my beast to get me to work. Will have to wait for another time....

I will be down at SST this saturday getting her tuned though. Booked it all in with Steve the other day. Do you know if steve's got fuel pressure reg's for sale? i think he may find i'm gonna need one when he tunes it on sat.

Tune didn't go so well. Drove it on with 7psi and immediately laid down 244RWHP but as soon as I went to wind the boost up she would lean right off. After much mucking around, we put it down to an incorrectly installed fuel pump so I left unhappy and faced with more $$$ to spend. Am getting a fuel pressure reg too and possibly a Z32 AFM cause i'm hitting boost cut around 0.98bar.

As far as a start goes, 244 @ 7psi isn't a bad one. Turbo feels fuggin awesome when it kicks in (about 2-300 later than stock), comes in much stronger than old one but will have to wait for dyno graph showing 300+ for the moment. Rest assured I'll post it up when it happens. Just waiting on parts and $$ now.

    • Surely the cam timing is set to something stupid at low RPM?
    • Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum. 
    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.
