finnas Gold Donating Members 105 Member For: 14y 3m 6d Posted 13/02/19 04:57 AM Share Posted 13/02/19 04:57 AM Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone knows some good shops in Perth that would be able to balance and port the stock front housing of a gt3576 to fit the gtx3576 wheel. Or whether its possible to use a gtx3576 front housing to save having to port the stock one. I've trying to find info on whether the seal plate of the stock turbo will work with the gtx wheel but struggling to find answers. Obviously would still need to get balanced. I can thank @MattyP for putting me on to this path. Seems like really good bang for buck. Any pointers are appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to ask a turbo place to be sure... don't know of any over your way in WA, but there's a few in Sydney and Melbourne, if you're willing to send your turbo over.

I'll give them a yell to see if this is worth doing. So further info on doing this, Keith is right housing needs to be machined. GTX3576 wheel will fit the shaft and the bearing housing relief. Still not too sure if a 3rd party(kinagawa/mamba) frount housing will go on the garrett turbo or whether the GTX3576 one will fit. But from what im seeing it looks likely. Ideally was hoping to get away with just needing a balancing and just smash a billet wheel and GTX housing on and be done with for 500-600.

Although you will also require a new back plate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the GTX3576r and the beast just makes 508 ponies. I am in Perth as well btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found one on ebay from the good ole US of A, with a internal gate 1.06 turbine housing, and it was still $3000 delivered. Screw that. Billet wheel turbo mod ftw.
