Im about as switched on as a blown light bulb when it comes to doing something with the turbo . I know the standard turbo on the FG runs out of puff around 300-320rwks . ( I have a 2008 FG ) .I am going to chase somewhere between 360-380rwkws with maybe one day trying for 400 . I also don't want the car to drive like a 2 stroke MX bike were its all or nothing , Or is that more to do with the way the car is tuned ?. Can I modify the standard turbo to to reach these figures or do I need a new one ? If I do get a new one what should I be looking at ?, do I still the need to modify the waste gate and what pound acculator would I need or is that all gauged buy the amount of boost you will be running ?. Any advice is welcome after all you have got me this far . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all that sell the fg turbo for around $1000 if its low km in good condition to cover majority if not all of the cost of the 35/40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were an apprentice mechanic?28 years ago I did work experience at Jefferson Ford in Melbourne , I spent 8hrs a day taking wheels of peoples cars so they could be balanced then put them back on and saw that much tyre shine that you will never see it in my garage ever. I lasted 3 days then told them to F*** Off . That was my apprentership . dose that count ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
