Yea cruise would be good Steve, will have to make an effort for the next one. Ahh yes it was east your car was facing.

Hey guys if I were to take my turbo off and get the rear housing ported/bigger flapper and actuator where would be the best place to take it? Just looking at saving a little coin.

Cheers

Give Grant at PER4MANZ turbochargers a call. He rebuilt my BA turbo and ported housing with bigger flapper. I too removed the turbo and dropped it off.

If you can wait a week mate, I should be able to get you a flapper cheap and a waste gate as well if needed.

I am hoping to do my flapper mod myself this week end if I am not working. And if I am I will post some pic on this site.

Is an actuator and flapper mod required for the standard GT3576r? I am guessing with a 12psi actuator the tuner will be able to hold 15psi flat all the way through the rev range?

I have seen some holding 15-16psi in the mid and then they drop off up to, while others only manage 12-13psi in the mid.

Aaron are you going to run the baby turbo or going bigger?

Aaron, who are you going to use to tune your car? I would strongly suggest you talk to them first about flapper/port jobs and different tuners have different preferences in regards to porting a couple of hundred here could say you several hundred come tuning time.

Ahh so going to whole hog, might as well chuck a GTX on there at the same time and be done with it :spoton:

I recall seeing a thread here not long ago about the Rapid kit and how much cutting and butchering is involved to get it to fit etc and FG, might be something to consider unless you already have the kit.
