Spoke to GCG about these, Apparently direct bolt up, never mentioned anything about different oil lines etc, who know's, has anybody bought 1 yet let alone used 1 ??

Interested on some feedback on then, I'd say they would be a little laggier, just how much laggier is the big question...

I would dare say they wouldn't want to take a backwards step over the GTX3582R, so I'd say they would have designed something to supercede it in both the lag and boost department...

I've had a look at one in the flesh, pretty interesting bit of gear. oil drain is different to stock, pretty crudely modified wastegate port which on the one I saw when I flicked it open and shut, would catch on the lower lip and hold the gate open about 2-3mm. got that fixed up though. Not a fan of the spacer ring on the exh housing to get an extra 10mm clearance.... I think the alloy ring will fret against the cast housing.. expansion rates yada yada yada.. If I got one on mine, I'd be sitting down with it and spending some time cleaning up both the exh housing and the compressor cover. Also noted bulk movement on the shaft which I thought was excessive, but from past experience it goes away once oil gets in there.

I'll be keeping an eye on where this one lands, I'd be keen to see how it comes on compared to my T04.

Not keen on installing one of these... I'll stay with my Monsta Torque Built T04. It has runs on the board in my car and heaps of others. It's enough to push a fat street car in to the 9 second bracket too.

My .02c, everyone gets dragged into hype of a new product, no matter what it is, if it looks good on paper, it must be good in practice.... um no.

I'll stick to the tried, tested and proven methods and save the time, energy and probably $$$ to get results.

There is a guy over on FB who has fitted one of these puppies up and made 427.4rwkw on pump 98.

His words were full boost by 3200rpm, his supporting mods are custom 3.5 inch zorst, PW stage 2 cooler, valve springs, injectors and walbro 460 lph pump, stock FG MK 2 XR6T.

Very Impressive, E85 would be very interesting.
