[Ben89]

gdsy guys, slowly learning more and more and just want some imput for this turbo

http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/271489481529?nav=SEARCH

I have a 2 inch exhaust, turbo manifold on the turbo I have on atm, (not sure if it will suit this one), and just the stock td4.2 silvertop with a flogged out turbo , just want to know if I need a 3 inch exhaust and do all turbo manifolds suit all turbos or not?

cheers guys

and whats a actuator, says I might need one?

[Family4x4]

If your current turbo is T3 flange it should fit.

[BigRAWesty]

You'll need manifold and exhaust setup, plus plumbing, gauges and a tune.

The actuator is what controls the boost levels by opening and closing the waste gate, which allows exhaust gasses to by-pass the turbo when set boost levels are reached.

The Turbo you have linked has a built in waste gate and actuator, it's the round thing with a rod crossing over the turbo toothed exhaust side. This is what you adjust to adjust the boost levels..

Fyi, nice looking kit

cheers for the info guy, just what im after, any way of telling if its a t3 flange? Im not sure what turbo is on it atm

[BigRAWesty]

Don't hold me to this but I'm pretty sure T3 is a standard for the square style turbo mount.

[Ben89]

if I went past a turbo place im guessing they could possibly tell what it is im assuming..

[nissannewby]

Do you know what brand/type of manifold it is?

[Ben89]

nah wouldnt have a clue, old owner chucked it on, ill try for a better look after work and see if I can spot any numbers or anything

[Ben89]

what guages would I be looking at? like even the link for them lol, im no good with the electric side of things, only manual heavy duty shit

[BigRAWesty]

Any gauges fitted now??

[Ben89]

nah no guages fitted what so ever

[BigRAWesty]

Boost and egt / pyro gauges minimum.

Some fit a better water temp and oil temp, not compulsory but nice to know..

[Ben89]

is there any special good brands? or all the same?

[BigRAWesty]

I guess gauges come down to you get what you pay for.

Have a search of gauges as I'm pretty Sure there is a thread on it and what people are running..

[nissannewby]

The list is endless on gauges mate.

VDO, GloShift, autometer, auberins, etc etc. Just depends on who is gonna do the best deal for you.

[Ben89]

ah cheers for that guys, gonna go look at some tomorrow

I got my Turbo upgraded on my 2006 Y61 TB42 and they insisted i upgrade the "Dump Pipe ? and exhaust to 3" the upgrade was using an exchange original unit that they had modified to make it work properly and it sure works properly now, completely different car and well worth it.
