Just Destroyed My Turbo, Options From Here

For turbo rebuilds I'd be going straight to GCG in Sydney.

ill sell you an fg turbo with 12,000kms on it for $1200, if they fit?

[Jarod85]

They do fit, but the turbo on a fg xr6t is a bit smaller then the ba/bf. If it's off an fg f6 it's good size.

I actually have bought a turbo today. So I'm all good now. Just gotta wait for it now.

$1450 for one of the most important parts of your car? Bargain I say!!

Try replacing a greabox.. that's pricey

$1450 is ok. Still I if I was gonna spend $1450 on a stock item. I'd rather put it towards something better. The Australian prices are so much more simply because of the ford configuration. A standard gt3582 seems to be anywhere between $400 and 700 cheaper. The only extra cost would be an actuator. That's a bit hard to swollow.

hey jarod, what you planning on doing with the old turbo?

im looking at using one of these turbo for a project build so getting a stuffed turbo wont be good for sizing up my custom made turbo manifold?

thanks

I hadn't really thought about it. When I get the new turbo on, I'll have a better look at it. So far I can see damage to the compressor side, not sure about the exhaust side, but I'm gonna guess it's copped a bit. Where abouts are you located?

didnt you buy hiro's turbo

[Jarod85]

Yeah, it's on his car at 6boost At the moment. Was told it should be off Tuesday / Wednesday.

Im pretty happy with this purchase, because it's a relatively new turbo, and comes with the .7 compressor housing and ported waste gate. So the money spent on purchasing it doesn't feel like a waste.
