FTAO internaly gated GT30 owners
How do you find the turbo performs? what sort of boost threshold does it have? and what sort of power/pressures are you running? anyone had reliablity issues?

I have a GT3076r with internal gate, APT`s ultimate internal gate in stead of the original garret one. Have high expectations for it, but havent tried it yet.

hi will the one on my car i cant really tell you anything because i haven't gave it any abause at all i will, once it's live mapped i dont have any serge issues when it comes on boost
it makes boost about the same time as my t34 with .63 but kicks twice as hard i have heard rumours they they do suffer from cracking the rear housing .............im not really botherd about that as long as it lasts a good while im happy nothing lasts for a long time in motorsport anyway i forgot to add the internal wastegate wont make as much power as the external one ..
the internal one is not as laggy as the external one, horse for causes and all that

you will have to show me next time at the RSOC meet at the greyhound mate, I was going to say hello Tues night, but I didn't get chance . Car looked stunning though. , although you might need to upgrade your brakes
You recon the GT30 is a good compromise then? thinking when I rebuild my escort it might be getting one

my gt30, made just over 500 bhp on road fuel on a engine dyno, @ 26 psi.
hits 30psi by 4000 rpm, and i still havent played with cam timin to improve that.

Wil is right i use a 7.5 litre gated system touring car sump and if i leave the dip stick in it stops one of the gates from opening , i just use another cut down dip stick and a dummy
