Hi chaps,
I just got my hands on a GT2554R, unfortunately it is not as described and has a .80 compressor and a .64 rear... not the .42 and .49 i thought. i know stuart clarke did well with one of these on the strip but will it be too laggy for the rally car? 285 and efi...:scratch::scratch::scratch:

Could i bolt on a different compressor cover or turbine housing - if so where is cheap - second hand is better!
Where are the turbo gurus when you need em - lots of PMs about new grilles though :laugh:Quote:

You could change the front cover for one with a smaller a/r, might need a bit of machining to fit the wheel. Try the .64 rear you might be suprised with how good it spools up:D
mr briggs is spot on would defo need machining and iv heard good things on the .64 rear
Turbine
-Wheel: 53mm w/ 62 trim
-Housing: .64 ar
Compressor
-Wheel: 54.3mm w/ 60 trim
-Housing: .80 ar
Details above.
Brigsy, Blunty, I aam tempted to give it a go now! so will fab up as d/p as he included the v band bits. No experience with the gt series, had t2, hybrid t2, t25 .42/.35 and t28rb .42/.49.
T28rb was good top end but the t25 was mad... For 5 minutes...
The .8 ar front end confuses me though, sounds very small?
Also the .64 rear sounds huge - ill give it a try though!
