Might as well fit it though while you have it all off, surely it would save you doing a job twice almost?

[Scott-R]

No I need to take make sure it's got all the bits it's meant to have and I blew my ko4 up was hoping to save the Gt28 till next year but have to use it now..

Was it on a revo map?? 

Proper custom dyno mapping all the way
Revo are too much of a revenue prioritised company for my liking.
Care more about the money then customer satisfaction and care.

Much better with the smaller companies like r-tech, badger-5 etc who could I into competing with the big companies producing generic maps etc but chose not to as they prefer the customer satisfaction from custom mapping.

Just my 2pence 

Anyway good luck with the turbo swap, just remember all new crush washers, oil & filter, prime the turbo with oil, gaskets and bolts etc

Turned the engine over with coil packs out for maybe 30 seconds left that for about a minute then started it with coil packs in... Still haven't revved it yet waiting till tomorow when I can check all pipes again ha

Also what oil would be best for the new bigger turbo? A thinner oil? Going to change it tomorow.

[Granta Gti]

I would say thinner. I would use a 5 30 fully synth but probably won't make any difference!

Standard oil..   Quantum 10W/40

[jman-gti aum]

Thought the standard oil is 5-40 as I had 10-40 and the guys at rtec said it should be fully synthetic oil

[g60gerry]

2.5" will be sufficient as it will handle the power right up untill the 430bhps
