Marc McDonald Member 18 Member For: 14y 5m 8d Posted 07/06/15 09:50 AM Author Share Posted 07/06/15 09:50 AM Cheers guys, as I'm looking to upgrade in the near future I've been trying to avoid a brand new turbo + retune There was this that caught my eye though, full rebuild with new CHRA etc. From HyperGear, seem to have a pretty good reputation? I've removed the factory screen etc. this weekend already (Lesson learned too late!)http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-XR6-turbo-GT3582-turbocharger-full-rebuild-service-Made-to-last-and-perform-/200946410843?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item2ec956e55b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just buy a used gt3540/gt3582 or whatever its called... No tune, straight swap...no hassles?Your 1k price is BS....seen several in the last few months in the $500-$750 range.

Hi JVk, old post revival but did you sort the overboosting with the Mamba exhaust and internal gate with porting or did you do something different?

Ended up porting the housing and mainly in the area leading up to the port itself and blending the entry.At the end of the day it was much better but still not how I would of liked. The turbo itself performed very well but was a pain initially to set up. If I had to do it all again I would just go the garret gtx or std turbo with a billet wheel.
