So a few little things have happened to the car since I last posted.

Firstly the old vinyl bonnet finally kicked the bucket so with the help of my little cousin we blew a coat of two pack over a new one, which came up mint, cheers Andrew ;)

After:

The rest of the black vinyl covering the top and sides of the car after 4 years has all been replace with fresh 3M product, which was done by my mate Steve down at exclusive wraps in Brisbane.

The car is now rolling on a set of 17x9 +22 all round Panasport G7 c5c's, which I picked up off Will Nelson down the coast, top bloke to deal with and from agreeing purchase them until I had them on the car was less than 24 hours.

Here's some shots of the rims individually and some on the car:

    • On the compressor side it looks like the best, if your head setup will support doing 100-110lb/min at 30psi-ish boost.   The G45-1350 compressor looks ideally better if you need closer to 40psi for it, given both the G40 1150 and G42 1200 look like they'll be around the 100lb/min mark at 35psi and dropping from there.   Bear in mind the turbine sides are all different between those three turbos, so that COULD be an influencing factor for how they all perform in the real world as well.   Not sure if you've made a conscious decision to only look at Garrett or not, but at least on paper the XRE7169S matches or beats those other three at everything from 30psi up and just going from wheel size alone likely to be at least as responsive as the G40 1150 and seem to behave closer to G42s in terms of turbine flow.
    • @Lithium  looking for a turbo for my Rb30. Want to make sure I understand this correctly.   If I want to stay 40psi or under my best choice of these 3 is actually the smaller G40-1150 ?
    • Massive ups for MTHire also. Could not have done the subframe bushings job without hiring the tool from them. Process was super easy and cost me around 25% of the cost of the tool. If you need a one-time tool to do something, check them out. (Paid for the rental myself, no sponsorship here.)  
    • I'd suggest calling Unigroup, they have a lot of experience with these, access to reliable fabricators etc. Of course it will cost but at least you can trust what they tell you
