    Default Turbine Wheel Replacement QLD

    Hey guys i have searched wit no luck so thought you guys might be able to help so here goes
    I am lookin at T3 T4 hybrid turbo wit biggest T4 comp housing unsure on comp AR and Turbine housing AR as yet
    also the ext gate that comes with it is an garret item and is massive and has 22psi spring in it (so that means the lowest boost it can run is 22psi am i wright??? Or is that the max)

    But downside to turbo is that there is tiny fractures in the turbine wheel now the guy i might be buying this off said he has had it inspected by a turbo specialist and he said the turbo should be good for 80 000 to 100 000k as long as it does not run high boost constantly

    so my questions are
    1. has any one had a turbine wheel replaced if so how much and where would be the best place to get one in Brizzy or on the net
    2.same with replacment wastgate springs
    if i am right about it having a 22 psi spring and if that is the lowest boost i can run that will have to go straight up

    Cheers

    22psi spring means that thats the lowest point at which the gate will open. BUT, you can always put in a lighter spring...

    As for the turbo specs, i'll leave that to the others cos i dont know

    If the wastegate has a 22psi sping, then that is the lowest boost you can run.

    It doesn't look like a 'current' style GReddy gate, but springs should be available from other sources still (if they aren't available from GReddy still)

    22psi measn it is the lowest boost it will limit to... if you use less pedal, then you will get less boost
