Seth Member 40 Member For: 3y 3m 25d Posted 14/05/22 06:38 AM Author Share Posted 14/05/22 06:38 AM Oh that has just reminded me that the last owner did say something about the turbo being off an fg I don’t know how I forgot that but what turbo is the fg turbo?

Seth Member 40 Member For: 3y 3m 25d Posted 14/05/22 06:54 AM Author Share Posted 14/05/22 06:54 AM Oh yup I see I sill have my old turbo the one I took off has 7 blade and I yeah the one I put on has a 6 blade so I reckon the last owner had it tuned to an fg turbo with the fuel pump. Which would explain a lot now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seth Member 40 Member For: 3y 3m 25d Posted 14/05/22 07:07 AM Author Share Posted 14/05/22 07:07 AM Thank you very much I appreciate the help. What would you do keep the ba turbo on it or get another fg turbo? Cos it would cost me about $1.3k to get a tune at Max performance or sped $850 on an fg turbo?

Best to get advice from the tuner and make your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth Member 40 Member For: 3y 3m 25d Posted 14/05/22 07:58 AM Author Share Posted 14/05/22 07:58 AM Yeah thank your heaps I’ll probably get an fg turbo I will ask around though frist. And ill try and get in contact with the last owner and see if he did anything with tuneing and stuff like that bc it dose have a aftermarket fuel pump already so surely it would have had to been I <3 Bananased with in the past?

You're probably looking at $2500 inc labour. That is as cheap as you'll get out of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Tucker Donating Members 675 Member For: 5y 8m 4d Posted 14/05/22 08:48 AM Share Posted 14/05/22 08:48 AM Ah yeah, should be a standard 1.06AR option. The GTX3582 gen 2 option isn't bad either, you just can't get near its potential on BA motor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
