I got a .48 at the mo but its fooked what shall I replace it with?

its for a stage 3 3 door and where can I got the housing from

 

If your running a stage 3 setup mate I would recommend staying with the .48 IMO. No need to go to .55 or .63 as it will only increase lag and you won't see a benefit in power that level. Brand new exhaust housings are not cheap. I Would personally grab hold of a second hand one. Whats wrong with yours... cracked???

 

It needs a rebuild and the bolts wont undo so was gonna cut them off and get a newish exh housing

 

I know I have one down the shed, came off my t34. Can have a look at it 2mo if you want to check it all over. Wouldn't want much for it. You canpick them up new, but I think they dont go for any cheaper than £200

 

i bought both a t34.48 and a t34.63. i kept the .48 on as it was more usuable for quick get aways with boost coming in at about 1400rpm compared to about 2500rpm on the .63. acceleration rather than top end was my main concern.
i had nothing but bother with recon turbos and only fixed it properly when i bought one brand new from woodford garage for about £800 for a stage 2 t34.48. obviously not all turbo recons are shoddy but 3 fook ups and redone rebuilds in under a year put me off.

 

They aint 200 new boss

The pain is I sold 1 for £60 had to post it to france and that cost £35

a penny cheaper

 

exhaust housing are around £400 new

 

Ummm click the link Brand new £199.99

 

Well theres a brand new one in that link for 199.99 so there not lol. I know they can be from some suppliers, But only a fool would pay £400. If your going to pay that you might aswell just buy a new turbo

 

Im going to have a look 2moz and see if I can undo the bolts with a blow lamp

 

be aware if you change the exhaust housing size, you will also need a new chip

 

I use andy and craig at TURBOCENTRE 01924 404112 for all my turbo needs, had a brand new housing(.48) on mine and that bit was £150, mine also needed new core etc etc, but had done 140,000 miles!!
