dood1164 New Member 13 Member For: 3y 1m 14d Posted 07/01/22 05:34 AM Share Posted 07/01/22 05:34 AM G'day all, I'm new to the turbo world and am seeking such much needed advice. I own a 2003 ba xr6t and when after purchasing sight unseen (I know don't hate me haha) have discovered my turbo is cooked. I have purchased a GT3582r from turbochargersplus and a new oil feed line as I'm certain that is the cause of the issue. I can't find any info if the boost control will be the same as factory and if once installed will I have to straight away to get it tuned. I am worried about the turbo overboosting and causing me more grief. Any help will be greatly appreciated, Cheers Dylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask the supplier for the specifications to confirm. If it's got different hardware there's a high likelihood of issues and you'll need a dyno-tune to suit the new turbo.

A bit of a side note is there a rule of thumb of how much oil to prime the new turbo with. Cheers for all the help 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do that for a few seconds and the oil goes all around the system (this is something you do after an oil change, too). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Tucker Donating Members 673 Member For: 5y 7m 22d Posted 07/01/22 08:31 AM Share Posted 07/01/22 08:31 AM that's not genuine. Hang onto that warranty! There seems to be some okay options around at the moment though, hopefully yours is one on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
