I just have to drill em out and they are good to go ready to bolt on..Yes that's mine, my wheels are +42 so just perfect.You could get 4mm taken out of yours by a machine shop and then you'll be fine.Might just need longer bolts as the studs will be 4mm longer.

Brake pads, Currently on intima SS and find them not great so looks like going over to QFM A1RMs. 2. Serpentine Belt and Pulleys3. FG NA XR6 Rocker Cover hopefullyI assume all these are pretty simple to do but if anyone has any advice or tips for the brake pad change and belt and pulley change that would be great..Also long live the single spinner! Still going strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZBen Member 50 Member For: 10y 6m 22d Gender: Male Location: Auckland Posted 11/01/15 08:23 AM Share Posted 11/01/15 08:23 AM Hey Matty, I'm thinkin abt going down similar road to you. However I have seen you say several times u love the smaller turbo. How laggy is the 82? Is the gtx a better all round option?What RPM does yr turbo start to boost?I guess I really need to take a car with a 3582 for a drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It starts spooling around 2k and pulls till the red line. It's a fantastic turbo. The only reason I'm considering swapping for my own gtx3576 is I do notice a loss down low especially while towing my dad's 2 ton boat. It does it easy but I do have to slip it back a cog to help pull it up hills.I rate my turbo highly. I really do love it. They way it smashes roll 2nd and 3rd gear roll ons is just perfection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
