Hey 87turbs, since this is your first VLT build up here's some advice. Take your time with the build, really sit down and think about how far/fast you really wanna go and how much cash you wanna spend. Cos i'll tell you right now, once the boost bug has bitten you. U'll only wanna go faster
Building a decent package will take time and alot of money. So if you don't have the cash now, don't go buying a ****ty quick fix turbo/package. Take your time, save your cash up and read through this website it will help you out alot.
And remember...do it once...do it right.
Goodluck mate

cheers man!!!! i was building the car based on my old weekly pay, so thats why i chose that turbo , i now have a lot more money to spend so yeah im going to do a lot more research!!!! i just want something that i can turn the key and drive and know it has plenty of ponies under that right pedal lol
that turbo is a apiece of ****.. mine was out of balance and was slightly scraping the compressor wheel.. i paid $299 for it so i didnt really care and monsta wouldnt give me a refund.. oh and a 600hp flowing turbo? hahha yeah right!
So i just cut my losses and now have a GT3540 with a .82 rear.. only cost like 7 time more but hey least i can trust it now!

No prob's mate. I know it's hard to get straight advice on here sometimes. That's exactly what i was after when i started, and to a point i still have. But once you start messing with cars, it always seems to be one thing after another that goes wrong or needs upgrading.
But thats life.

i rebuilt the motor my self just with duralite pistons all new rods bearings **** like that. had the diff and gear box rebuilt, changed injectors and now doing turbo plenum and a hole shell swap!!!! so im not too bad hands on justing trying to find out everything i probably should earlier lol
Thats good that can do some of the work urself, that will save you some cash. But yer, read through some of the threads on this site man. There's alot of knowleage to be had from here.
Enjoy
