anyone ever bought a turbo from the usa looked last night and a gt 30 seems to be half the price over there

 

ATP are quite well priced,if you can put up with the shipping time and dont get stung at customs you'll be fine.

 

thats where a was looking mate just shows how ripped off we get over here

 

have u bought a turbo from the usa mate

 

I have bought 2 gt30r from the states both from hinini racing no problems expect shipping and duty to add about 250 pounds still a fuck site cheaper

 

what spec motor u use the turbos on mate and what spec were turbos what like to drive lag etc cheers

 

lag no major problem,pick a pressure above 3.5k and you can have it engine fully rebuilt small turbo on omex ,with external gate,430 bhp at 24 psi more to be had but still on stanard gearbox at moment so more to come

 

turbo gt30r with 63 exuast ,going to change to bigger housing once gearbox and new manifold in place

 

3.5k rpm was what a was after looking for about 450bhp in escoss aswell how long did they take to arrive and what they cost all in

 

It would have to be ALOT cheaper to justify having no useful warranty to speak of.

Buying from the UK does have its advantages. Take the fact that my turbo supplier just took my turbo back, stripped it, inspected it and balanced it for under £50. There is no way they would have done that for a turbo bought from the US.

 

Cost about 850 if memory serves me right,took about 3 weeks but parcel force had it for a week wankers .word of advice dont use 4x4 oil pick up point go 2wd style thats why ive bought 2.you will need to go external if you want to be able to control boost.May have complete 2wd manifold with pj motorsport trouser peice and 38 mm gate forsale soon

not a forsale add for all the moaning fuckers

 

your not running roller bearing then

 

Yes.

 

GT30 infact.

 

so why u buy two turbos u break first one

 

gt30 or 30r becuase you i was led to believe the roller bearing cores are not repairable/stripable. not having a go i could be wrong not for the first time i may add. would be intrested in comments cheers

 

yes hense my comment about oil feeds ,feed pipe ventured to close to turbo.OH BOLLOCKS could i please have another of your fine turbos

 

did u have to make a plate to join exhaust hohsing on or standard one just bolt on

 

i take it you mean to exaust,if so i made an adaptor to bolt to standard 3 bolt plate

 

best picture of turbo on computer sorry

 

aye that was what a ment know a guy with a garret gt 30 with internal wastegate he bought it for his skyline before he sold it think a will go see if he still has it

 

With interal i would expect boost control issues, could be wrong. but if the price is right you can always change exaust housing

 

why would u expect boost control issues with internal wastegate

 

think brom has fitted several gt30r's on cossies with internal wastegate and had good results

 

i suppose it depends on what minimum boost setting you want ,never seen a 30r on internal, but seen similar size turbo strugle to hold less than 20psi as i have said not a tuner so could be wrong

 

so you saved yourself £150 and have no real warranty, well done

 

lets face fact most turbo suppliers always try to weezel out of warranty claims

 

just checked memory rubbish was 765 inc duty

 

what site?

 

do u sell gt30 with internal wastgate martin and do u think boost control would be a issue and seen ur car in the mag love the gearbox

 

I sell internal and external GT30's, give me a call for more info 0121 458 6010.. martin

 

second one from http://audspeed.com/

 

that GT30 is not the same as the one I sell!!

 

I ve just had a quick look at your site and i believe thats not roller bearing
Am i right in thinking that?

 

nope... I only sell roller bearing turbo's!

 

...if you buy a turbo over here of this variety you get no warranty due to motorsport use get out clause.

 

So true

 

so what is rhe difference between the torbos is it the compressor map

 

well i never new that!!!!!

 

Yes had a look at garret ,was not having a go at the turbo you sell ,but the one i have as you say is not the same as the one you sell .it has a higher power rating i think ,so is difficult to compair price wise , so may have saved a bit more than £225 if i remember correctly (as stated before memory is crap)i was quoted about £1300 plus exaust housing in the uk
