Yeh yeh whatever ...................................................

Move that pebble out the way before you start it up Steve

so thats why its takeing you so long to get your engine back in your looking for somewhere to put that

I've had the engine in 3 times but the bolt-on keep eating it innit

Thinking of putting this on Turbosmart external wastgate, maybe with a screamer pipe

Very bling......what does it do??
I take it that the right hand turbo of the 2 isnt your old one.....its too small by comparison isnt it??? (or you will have the laggiest GTA in Britain )

i will let you know how laggy it is when its fitted but my aim is bigish power eventually, theres no point in me buying the same turbo then realising later down the line i need to change again and theres ways around lag

Installing my new turbo............................I managed to work round the lag .............................

Bloody hell....I honestly didnt realise you had gone up that much in size!!! They are lined up side by side for direct comparison are they?
What does the external wastegate do????

need that compressor hosing polishing

Polishing hoses.... That is bling

from what ive been told peter it helps give a smoother boost curve,less resrtriction in the exhaust,stops boost creep and makes your car sound like a ww2 fighter plane when on boost well it did on my brothers starlet gtt

I've got a large one like that too! Although it doesn't appear to have the balanced impeller like mine has, was truly a work of art (not A.R.T. ) specially built by Turbo Technics. What I can report is that it has fantastic driving characteristics yes the boost comes in later than on a standard car but you can still get full boost by 3000 rpm and the transition is so smooth you wouldn't even realize there was a turbo fitted - except for the noise! I'm sure the extra capacity helps with the off boost lethargy though.

100% its got a 'balanced impeller'

This unit now constitutes as my Stage 2 unit. I won't hook up to the standard intake hose though, as it has a massive 4" inlet due to the premium spec compressor housing..
