Much larger then stock, nice round shape, no sharp edges.I dont know what a bad one is though.Doesnt have any cracks in the housing so that's good.

Nothing hits, flapper sits flat when closed.Will be sure to test it properly when turbo is off the car. Dont want to get it all together and realise its not working.

Stazza_Brendan Donating Members 686 Member For: 15y 1m 16d Gender: Male Location: Mackay QLD Posted 17/06/14 07:00 AM Author Share Posted 17/06/14 07:00 AM Ute now has a GTX3576R on a ported .82 Rear housing. Also fitted 12psi Turbosmart actuator.Spools so quick. Hasnt been retuned yet. More on that further down.Just updated the brakes. Shockworks 4pot fronts on 355mm rotors. GT R-spec rear calipers, Ferodo pads and DBA rotors on rear.Another project im playing with on the side.Looking at an AEM water meth kit, 5 gallon tank that should fit nicely under the tray. Also have to do valvesprings, Thinking either Atomic or Crow. Then its retune. Only hoping to get 500rwhp (470ish kw). Not high power, but the smaller but stupidly fast spooling turbo will be awesome on the street. Only given it light throttle around till its tuned. Already got 1000cc KPM injectors waiting to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
