$1250 just to do the front, just steel wheels though, no high-flowing. IMO high-flowing these is pretty pointless.

Oh i dunno, Darren has a pair of hi flowed factory twins and well, that should be making mammoth power soon, once the tune is done ;)

I also got quoted $700ish to rebuild my ct26 or 1150 to get a pre rebuilt one chucked on

Not a pointless exercise - just costly :D

Plus you wouldn’t do one without the other - meaning you wouldn't steel wheel turbo no.1 and leave no.2 stock.

Hi-flowed twins will give GT35s a run for their money at boost levels less than 20 psi

Apparently there is nothing wrong as such with just doing no.1 and leaving no.2 stock. However in saying that, if I was going to rebuild no.1 I'd do no.2 as well seeing as it isn't exactly much extra work to take no.2 off.

But, either way, I can't afford that kind coin right now, so 2nd hand turbos it is.

Not sure if you are aware but the labour on removing/replacing stock turbo's will be around the $1000 mark I think.

I would just roll with the turbo you have now until it smashes completely. I was running my stockies for ages and they had mammoth chips in the blades, heck they pulled 254rwkw at the dyno day with smashed up blades, through an auto.

mine the actual wheels stopped spinning inside the turbo -

that was fun once the oil started to burn and go out exhaust pipe -

Great fun too trying to clear all the oil out of the cat too -

3 hour bash in the hills LOL

Alrighty, had the car in at ET this morning to get the leak at the dump fixed and they had a listen to check for any other leaks and lo, I have a leak where the turbos bolt to the exhaust manifold. So, it probably isn't my turbo after all, will have to wait and see till after it is fixed, which'll be Wednesday next week. Fingers crossed...
