^^^^^ what he said only time you replace a turbo is if it broken or you want more power if you want the cheapest way to make a little more power and want the stock look i would get it hiflowed if you want to do that option speak to stao at hypergear but keep in mind you do this you WILL need aftermarket ecu and possibly larger injectors for the ecu i recommend a nistune if your on a budget

if you dont want any more power just leave it as is and keep going

no need to replace what isnt dead

ive got the stock turbo on my gtst

i got it with 58,000 on the clock and its now got 236,000

its had 12psi since around 89,000 and still hooks up well

so they are reliable if treated well and serviced

Sorry viewing from an iPhone and just assumed Gtr

fair enough lol

if i rebuild id get more performance and i guess the turbo would be in better condition..or maybe recondition, i just scared tht it mite blow if i dont do something now

There isnt really a point to rebuilding the stock turbo, there is no direct replacement Steel turbine wheel avaliable for them.

So in effect high flowing is all you can do...someone might be able to do it cheap, using a GT28 rear wheel and leaving your standard compressor wheel.

I doubt it will blow if you look after it. Keep boost under 10psi and keep up regular oil changes and all should be sweet.

      Use text replace function to auto-link to referred threads?

      Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...

      Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.

      The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome

      The thing is, once the content has been tagged we can chop and change the end result as much as we want. Its identifying the content in the first place that needs to be done regardless of the final outcome.

      Sorry @GTSBoy I thought I'd replied here. There's a new BIG version of invision coming out soon, it might be worth waiting until that happens as it contains a lot of improved functionality for tags. My suggestion would be to add a top level page (not thread) with some info on it and then link to sub pages for various topics. We could even just start really simple with 2 or 3 pages underneath it. Those pages could just have a view (like a pre configured search result) of the tags we choose to put on it. We could have some background or an intro on each of these pages. My only issue is that while admins and mods can update the existing content to contain the tags we want, new posts can have whatever tags the author wants. That said, the reason our tags are so messy is because of that, so maybe we restrict tagging to admins/mods in edits.
