No he doesnt lol cos i bought it just over a year ago along with other turbo parts i might have parts for sale soon not sure yet cos i have a whole RB30ET motor out of my other VL turbo that was crashed into grrrrrrr. have a whole car for spare parts basically. unsure if i should keep it for myself or sell Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Hey Kris, do you still have the original turbo ecu? im after one desperately. cheers Matt

what will you pay for one? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

mmm dunno, how much are they worth. I'm not sure whether or not to take mine to a turbo specialist for him to check it out, charge me for checking it out then fixing it or to just buy another t3 n chuck it on (if its in good working order) Quote: Originally Posted by NZ VLCT what will you pay for one? /edit. Oh are you talking to me or about the ecu? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Sorry I meant the ECU....................... :S

Better than standard and will sell it to you with handcontroller etc for $850 for the lot, would cost easily $1800.00 to buy

thanks for the offer kris that's a good deal but im a bit short on money at the mo having just spent 4k to do the turbo conversion. plus its running a hi comp setup so 8psi is probably the max i could run. cheers anyway.

I think the factory setup on the turbo ECU was 12psi so it may not solve your problems at least this way you can tune boost and fuel maps to 8psi @ 160kw and then have the ability to run 26psi @ 400kw later on. With the standard ECU you my find that it will run really rich as you cant tune fuel and actually lose power. Just some things to think about and a really good sales pitch, also Kw figures are rough estimates but you get the picture. Great to see someone doing it them selves and all the best, we all need to do things in stages even rich people dream of having more money, Cheers Kris

any of you boys done a vlt conversion here in nz,also any 1 got a vlt ecu???

Hi-comp setup ?? Me running 10psi on mine trying to run 15 but it leaking out somewhere.. Pritty ****en loose on 10, Awsome with no lag !!!! but yea I think they're good for about 15 with a good tune. ie **** all timing @ 15psi.

If you like driving a handgrenade with no pin in it.................. things that make your engine go BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

I remember one time on my old VLCT one of the nuts that held the turbo on came off, fell down and jammed the waste gate closed while driving along, it was pretty un drivable when it's trying to boost to 20psi!! haha managed to save the engine though.
