Are you using the rb25de gearbox, or the 25det gearbox? I plan on doing this when I'm close to getting off my P's, and I thought the 25de g/b would blow up with that kind of power going through it.

I was having a discussion about this with a good mate the other day. and he was under the assumption that the rb26 and r325 GEARsets are the same. so that being said Gtr boxes are very strong. i would be keen for some one to clarify this.

[r32-25t]

Rb25 turbo boxes have the same gear set, the n/a 25 boxes are much smaller and weaker

Nice project, what turbos does it have?

[rb26 r33]

Hey, sorry I never replied to anyone totally forgot I did this! I am running the rb25det box, which feels really good no issues at all with the current power,

And I'm also running the stock turbos mate that look pritty new, I'm looking to upgrade next year after I have payed of some debts, still not sure if I will go single or twins. Thanks for the replies.
