Post by: imebgo on January 08, 2007, 01:08:51 PM
Would this be considered a good deal?

current exchange rate would make that a nice price! about £1200, but you have to add shipping and taxes to that

it would be a good deal if it fit a RHD car.

But the manifold wastegate combo that is created for LHD cars fouls the steering column on RHD vehicles.

Check if it will fit a RHD car before you drop for it.

the turbo will fit and the wastegate should, the most you will have to do is change the angle by slotting it just before the flange and tilting slightly and re welding it.   20 min job if you have a welder.

I fitted one to an FD and the w/g hit the subframe not the steering which is strange as i thought the subframe would have been the same for both RHD and LHD.  Although that w/g looks smaller that one i fitted so you should be ok.

when i asked them they told me that the only kit they did that would fit a RHD car would be the T3 footprint GT35 kit.

I also tried to order some other stuff from them then never heard anything back so canceled the order.

the kit i have came from //www.cheapturbos.com . The guy before i bought the car installed it but it seems to all go together nicely. Perhaps have a look there, and then get your other bits (such as ignition amp) from the UK.

If shipping works out a lot from the states then you could always get a cheap ticket over there and bring it back in your rucksack :)

Post by: imebgo on January 09, 2007, 02:32:19 PM
Still waiting for a response from rxstore, also in communication with a-spec about their kits - i think they might be a little more expensive though,  Considering the cheapturbo option too :)

How, or who could fabricate a downpipe?  Theres no generic ones available for it?

Whats the BB option for $599 on that offer?

Cheers, James

A lot of US suppliers are unhappy about accepting non-US based credit cards (it is a massive fraud problem in the States). They will accept them sometimes if you speak to them, but quite often they wouldn\'t even consider it from an online order.
