You will have no problem insuring it. I have personally insured myself with no headache in the world. The advice that you are being told by the worry warts is hearsay.

Just mark the exhaust housing and compressor housing to ensure they go back on the same way. Apart from that it can all be done in the shed using basic hand tools. Even stripping the core can be done in the shed. The only thing that needs to be out sourced on turbo rebuilds is balancing. Just make sure the housings aren't badly scored. If the front wheel has slightly touched and scratched the front housing just use some 1200 sand paper and give it a light clean up.

Good advice mate. Just get it checked by someone that knows. It wont even affect your insurance as the RTA has passed it.

That is the right core.

If your vehicle gets stolen and not found within the insurances time frame that vehicle will be written off and you the owner paid in full. If in a month or how ever long passes that vehicle is found, it will be salvaged at an auction. If it has had a damaged front bar it will still be sold as a repairable write off. If the vehicle is damaged beyond repair it will be recorded as a statuatory write off. So it's not too hard to swallow why a vehicle with minor damage can end up as a repairable write off. My self and a mate have bought, repaired and sold repairable write offs. I recently bought a Suzuki GSXR 600 2007 with 16000 on the clock for $ 4000.00. Cost me $ 2,000.00 to repair register and pass over the pits to get it on the road. Resale value is around 9.5 - 10k. Damage was minor fairing damage and the repair bill would not have gone over $ 2.5k profesionally. So why did the insurance company write it off? Because the owner would have hidden it, got paid, dumped it on the street and kicked it over. Otherwise the insurance would never have paid the owner out 10-11k for 2.5k worth of damage.

The car could of been stolen and recovered. In that case even a broken window, scratch or a busted inginition barel will fall under RWO because the vehicle was made a write off prior to it being recovered.

He just listed it this morning again with a different housing. Wow sold already.

The white mark is there as a reference point when balancing. There was someone on here selling a replacement new core for $1300 in the classifieds. Bargain jump on it!

Gcg turbos about 2.5k.

Have u gapped your plugs down? O2 sensor shouldn't affect performance on WOT.

If you have a bracket going to the engine mount on the bottom it is hard to remove the manifold without un doing the bottom right nut at least.

On the top right nut all you need is the ring end of the spanner on there to crack it. The bottom right needs a nuckle end extension with a socket on it and you get it from under the turbo with a ratchet.

Get it smoked tested for leaks on the manifold. You could also try resetting the TPS by holding your foot flat while you wind the engine over for about 10sec. Has it got new plugs? Sounds like the injectors may not be scaled correctly especially when they wouldn't be working very hard to keep up with 247rkw. Standard ones can handle that.

If you have a XCAL 2 or 3 plug it up and run a diagnostic to see if any fault codes are present. You can also try pulling the pipe off the throttle body and giving the throttle body a good clean with some carby cleaner. In respect to the o2 sensor it is usually checked against the factory specified voltages using a multimeter. A capable tuner can check all this whilst on the Dyno and can data log the o2 sensor values as well whilst its in closed loop. I think you have been seeing the wrong tuners if they can't sort out an idle problem. Siemens injectors are known to most times cause a slight stutter in the iddle but not to the point where you would say it has a bad idling problem.

Mod the engine to support about 18psi through the standard turbo and it'll hit hard down low.

Check o2 sensor.

Lol I didn't want to say anything.

Siemens injectors + Poor tuning = Bad idle.

4" now save money later in my opinion. Once the power bug sets in you'll be changing it.

It sounds awesome and performs.

Lol I remember when I said this to the missus when I first got the T

I think they need to introduce some sort of mandatory advanced driver training prior to geting your license and then at some set intervals. All I have noticed over the years is that the Australian Government is only interested in its revenue and not the safety of its drivers. Why not educate rather than crack the whip and punish, a very negative approach to driver education if you ask me.

A 400cpi cat should not throw out the factory boost settings, I think they are about that from factory. One here wouldn't cost more than $ 200 to buy.

Yeh Marky I just posted the dyno sheet under Tunehouses section. You wont regret seeing Jim mate.

Alright guys came back from Tunehouse last night with 395rkw. That is with the modified GT3540 and a 3000rpm stally. I am very happy with the tone and performance of the Nizpro 4". If you are patient with the system and have some spanner experience it does fit. As mentioned previously though that if you aren't fitting it yourself I don't think many shops will have the patience this system requires. I spent about an hour and a half or so fiddling with it.
