Mid 11's with 450+rwkw isn't classed as good though.

Wow. If I'm going to be in the high 300 territory, it makes me ask the question......

What more do I need to get to the magic 400kw mark?

Another question. What's the best price in Australia for the turbo? eBay (us) has the turbo with .70 a/r compressor, 1.06 a/r t3 4 bolt turbine for around the $2300 mark. Is that a good price? I want to get the turbine housing aswell (so I can on sell the stock turbo)

Jump on it

Would the gtx3582r be a better turbo than this? I think this turbo would be laggy due to the big compressor housing

[Slash]

Not laggy at all as you're working with a 4L engine, not a 2L SR sh*tbox. Full boost would only be marginally higher in the rpm range, & you have the advantage of more top end + ported rear housing

Mate just bought a similar one for his FG, albeit he payed $1800. That seller on Ebay must have a few as I've seen a few sell from him between $700 & $1800. Maybe contact him through ebay??

You definitely should change the exhaust. Should see a nice 360-380 rwkw. It will be all useless with no lsd. You will leave a single black line for ever. If your not modding the auto, maybe stay around 340rwkw.

[djqc]

By modding the auto, do you mean strengthening it, or a zf tune?

[Tobey]

Why not go with an F6 Turbo? There are a few people making 400+ with these....

[Dillz]

Lol a few? There'd be hundreds by now..

I'm sold on the gtx3582r, but it's expensive at $1900-$2000. That's only the compressor housing and core too. Where is the cheapest place in oz to get the gtx3582r? And is there a cheaper alternative to this turbo that will still provide minimal lag and good top end?
