Don't be a skirt. You know you want a roller bearing Jay. Go for the GT30- can you get them with internal gate? I think you might be able to. That way you can smash Grant and not look so pittiful behind Ollie. Goddamn fellas You can get GT35 700hp doohickeys from MTQ for less than 2k- why would you bother with plain bearing old school sh1tters. (fair enuff you need a gate and manifold etc etc etc, but just do it!)

why would he want to get the stock turbo mani ported for 800 bucks when he could buy a brand new stainless set of extractors, top or low mount with wastegate flange already welded on for 900 or so ? wasting money on the stock turbo manifold is pointless. 800 bucks ? hope ur talkin about powerporting.. and even that is pointless on a stocker mani..... anyway.. jays car will still hammer with a highflow, chances are it'll come back even more highflowd than it already was hehe and puttin a GT on his car would be too much ***in around.. better to do big tubz, ecu, fuel system and plenum all at the same time.. would be pretty sik calais then.. for anyone interested.... here are a few pics of the turbo after i took it off, nothing major but gives u an idea of wat happens when u keep driving around with 1cm of shaft play P.S.. dayles turbo is about to go BANG aswell.. haha makes the exact same noises as jays did before it SHAT its load and starting pissing oil everywhere tic tic tic dayle.. did u say u want to group buy a GT35 with me from neil ? hahaah Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

and we all know wat happend to urs haha.. i dont think they'd touch jays after having a wiggle of his shaft.. haha its all over the ***in joint im thinkin jay should just source another highflow from somewhere..... ext gates and big turbos on stock ecu'd cars is a pain in the ass unless ur doin everything at once.

Ollie i'm getting mine rebuilt for between 600-800 from the same guy that did scuba steves. As for dyson wiggling jays shaft, that is a bit wrong Scoota Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hrmm wonder wat the REAL quote will be tho scotty when they take ur turbo off and find the true extent of its internal insideoutedness.. u know like.. so shagged that it'll be like jays and need 'new everything'.. internally gated gt35/40 sounds good but id never trust a second hand turbo. specially one that someone wants over a grand for unless it was proven to be like a week old or something.. i dunno does anyone know if there is internally gated gt30's ? if not.. this whole new external gate/ gt30 / dump / spacer plate / water-oil lines idea sounds /intake idea sounds like a goer hahaha !! might add up tho.
