is that a water injection nozzle or a pressure tapping on the compressor exit ?

Was told it\'s a Garrett TO4S when i bought it, unsure really just had it fully rebuilt for 500 quid:2Mad they never said what spec it was?

Pressure outlet, didnt fancy using the outlet on the manifold, would get a better boost reading and control for the wastegate from the housing.

Did the turbo need a rebuild mate ? Was told when i bought it from rhdjapan.com that it was in good nick.

You\'ll have to take me for a spin when it\'s all setup.

Yep, Sent it away for inspection and it needed a full rebuild, they said the last car it came off had thrown a tip causing bearing and shaft damage. it had a new shaft, bearing and impellor. S**t happens at least I know it\'s a pukka turbo now

Thought it was you I saw last friday! I guess not now! :chat

It\'s all coming along and look\'s good - what kind of power you expecting?

Fats · March 17, 2007, 12:42:04 PM

Bin on the drive now for 3 months!!!, im hoping for 400+, if i could hit 400 fly power I would be happy. Thing is it\'s on standard port\'s, that\'s what\'s gonna hold me back a bit.

I remember reading an american forum and a guy with an FC made something like 401 FWBHP but it took some doing. The Rew\'s larger ports will help so its deffinately possable!

How long.......come on......summer\'s approaching!

sorry about that dude. I did only sell it on for what i paid for it. The description on there website said it was in working condition must have been why it was cheap. :mad:
