Right, i`m thinking of building my own turbo up and saving a bit of cash. after shopping around seems a stage 3 is 650 - 700 notes. reckon i can build one up and get it balanced for about 500.
looking at the following: 0.48 exhaust housing, 360 thrust, 55 trim compressor wheel and general overhaul kit. plus a core balance when built up.
now for the questions, is the exhaust turbine standard? is the .42 comp housing left standard?
and kinda completely off line, my current .36 ex housing is shagged with huge cracks, if i put a .48 on there with the rest standard would it still boost ok with otherwise standard core? saves getting a 36 housing for now then the 48 when the power goes up.
just a thought?

cheers matey will give him a shout when the time is right. just trying to decide on which route to take. will most likely jump in with dekas (for 250bhp might be worth a gamble from states.) and a stage 3 early next year. for now the priority is getting housing changed and the lump mapped and run in with cossy blues. will the .48 make any gains over the .48 with a standar core. presume it will flow better? ony going to 15ish psi with blues. or would a .36 be better off?
