The guys I got the turbo off can't get the Garrett...

    Hi All, Joined up as I'm currently looking to buy an S15 spec R, I'll probably not be doing much posting to begin with as I'm sure any n00b questions I might have will have been covered 100 times before, so I'll be doing plenty of reading. I'm from Cornwall, currently drive a not-so-chavvy...

    Turbo whine?

    Sorry about the crappy vid. I just made it real quick trying to catch it, the whining sound is very low. If I drive it up to boost, it'll sound fine up until around 4k rpms, then it does a crazy loud whine sound. I don't like making the car do this, but I might do it tomorrow and record it on my...

    Opinions on turbos

    Since my turbo is crapping itself, I'll be needing to get a new one soon. I'm not sure when I'll be making my purchase. Of course the longer I wait, the more I'll be able to spend. I was thinking about just rebuilding mine, but since I don't know what brand of turbo it is, I may be spending more...

    WTB: Looking for a turbo for an SR20DET

    I'm in search of good conditioned, known working, turbo for my SR20DET. I have a feeling my turbo is running on it's last legs, plus the fact that it looks like a cheap China turbo (not saying all cheap China turbos are bad, just mine doesn't make me feel safe driving it). I prefer to buying...
