Call me sad, but Im quite taken with the rotary shaped tips

lol, was hoping you were looking a hx50, but had a 40 that just wasnt wetting your whistle lol

Hmmm, sounds a shame to start messing with a nice new turbo. Me thinks I will just take someone up on their offer to buy it, and go for a hx40  ..................... ooooooooor someone could trade me their nice new hx40 for mine .............

perfect lad!  Didnt spot those, but mucho grassyass.

sorry for being thick, but not sure what you mean stylus. I knew I was looking a turbo with a divided t4 flange as my stainless manifold has this, and I didnt want a t3 flange turbo and a converter between the 2 slowing down airflow between the engine and turbo.

and look what the cat dragged in .............

At the risk of sounding like im a train spotter weirdo, has anyone got any pics from different angles of the rear bins and panel where the rear part of the rear seat would be in a fd? Im only asking, as Ive just pulled out the original rear seat and belts, and am fitting fixed buckets and 4 point harnesses, and wanted to make up my own bins, with a view to fitting a gel battery in one of them. Will be making out of aluminium, and skinning in crinkle finish black vinyl. Will stick up pics, to see what people think. If positive, could possibly make a few copies for others. :wiggle

lol. At least you\'re honest, but thanks for the advice

Oops sorry lads, forgot to add the following info :
Fully-floating twin hydrodynamic journal bearings.
Fully adjustable compressor and turbine housing orientation.
T4 exhaust flange.
exhaust for 3inch downpipe
exhaust housing size is 22
airflow- .75 kg/s
Length (mm)249
Width (mm)275
Height (mm)225,
ass no; 3591768
model; Hx50
 
For info, shes a t4 divided flange model, which would suit my similiar stainless manifold, and Ive got a new 255 uprated fuel pump and will be running an apexi ecu, if that helps anyone giving me any advice. By the way this new turbo is only £200, hence why I thought it was worth a sniff. Cheers for all information already given.

Hi lads. Quick question. Been offered one of these, brand new, worth the money, and not sure if shes overkill, when Im only looking around 360-380hp, and running front mount ic, and apexi ecu. Engine had rebuild, but completely std ports. Anyone any experience with this model of holset? Not sure if this would suit the fd, and not make her a laggy monster. Any advice gratefully accepted. :cheers

Perfect! Cheers lads.

Heres a question lad. Just been offered a brand new IHI RH b6 6t-602 turbo. You know much about them? I cant even get any specs when I googled for it. Cheers again

Cheers lad. Anyone using anything smaller by any chance?

Cheers lads

I had a look at the 2 garretts, you suggested, but I was hoping to find something cheaper, for the sake of loosing some turbo lifespan, as the car won\'t be covering anymore than 1000 miles a year, so I could live with a turbo with a 20k lifespan, rather than the garrett\'s 60k lifespan. I hear people saying not to buy one of those non-branded obviously chinese built turbos, but noone can tell me why not, other than vague "it will blow up the world..............." warnings..........
