Yea i found out that the turbo return had a kink in it so it built up pressure in the core and blew the seals (my bad), i removed teh turbo last night and discoverd somthing had gone through the rear wheel and split one of teh impellers. (what a head ****)

oi dude is that monsta t70 Pete? (the ol one you used to have previously?) funnily enough the same thing happened to mine exact same problem.. The cheapo monsta turbo's have issues with balancing and the rear bearing alignment.. Ive just bought a gt3540.. went all out i think gt42 is abit overkill lol... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

lol... thats become quite obvious now.. imagine the lag on that thing tho! You need a R33 twin cam head just to get enough revs to spool the thing up Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

um id like 400rwkw lol but id be happy with 300rwkw and i am aware that i could of made that with a 35/40 but i dont care. And as for needing a twincam head nah man it should start spooling at 3800 witch is around the time the T70 spooled up and i was happy with that so
