Try out Eastern Turbo Chargers in bayswater and MTQ

You may need a short bracket for the actuator but I have one here for you.

Are you going to upgrade your airbox too?

Borg Warner EFR6758 Turbocharger T25/V-Band
Turbine Outlet Flange Borg Warner EFR Series This is for the 3" dump pipe
V-Band Clamp 3.0" GT30/GT35/T04Z/EFR/GTW
Turbine Inlet Flange Adaptor T25 to T3
Base Gasket T25/T28 Multi Layer
Base Gasket T3 Multi Layer


I originally bought this oil drain but it's not ideal and ended up getting an ID drain of 15mm from Eastern Turbo in Bayswater for much better flow.

Well i just did some pricing on this. on the GCG site the cart came in at $2995. I contacted their Melbourne sales guy and he got me a price of $2830 delivered and a 2 week wait.

MTQ came in at $3500 and he was busy and not super interested in talking to me. He tried to sell me a Garret GTX 2863 and said it was a great unit and id be stoked with the kit at $3000 MTQ had a Backorder of 1 month on the BW gear.

Don't do the garret if the price is similar to the Borgwarner. I will posy my dyno tune later today but my results were not really close to ab's.

SS Snorkel $590 (Powder coated $690) (Ram Head $790)

Total $1130 Plus Freight


Fatz Fab
SS Snorkel $970 (Powder coated $1080) (Ram Head $1225)
Box Airbox $660 with larger pod element
(Package of SS Snorkel and Airbox $1550) Plus freight
Total $1705 Plus Freight

Assuming the SS Snorkels are bloody identical i struggle to understand the price point for Fatz? $400 difference in the Snorkel? Really?

I see the Fatz Airbox is bigger but they both have 4" flow in and out. I like the larger element in the Fatz but is it worth $320 increase?

Anyone know where i can get a Panel filter airbag? Maybe i should make one?

@mudski what airbag have you got hooked up to our radius fab snorkel mate?

Is this just TD Tax?

I run the Radius Snorkel, I bought the 4inch ram head local for around $60 too.... My air box is the FATZ box.
Attachment 69698

As for the price difference in snorkels. My guess is that the FATZ snorkel has hidden welds. More time and care is need in this. My Radius snorkel you can see where the joins are. Doesn't bother me though.

Patrolapart are a distributor for Millweld too.

A gtx2863 isnt even in the same league as the borg warner efr6758. You can get the turbo out of the states for about 2k Aud landed. Then just purchase the other parts from one of the suppliers over here. Should be able to save $1000 from the quote you have been given from Mtq. The quote you have from gcg isnt to bad. The biggest hold up for you will be the dump pipe as it will beed to be custom made.

Yes my EGT get high all the time and easily. Not sure if I have a faulty Pyro and i am going to replace my Autometer gauge for a VDO I think just for peace of mind. A;so on the beach and when towing she gets warm and I'm keen to set it up better.

It doesnt need to be done in a single weekend. Sure you can have the turbo mounted and running in a weekend. just hook it up to your existing cooler. Then with other spare time mount the cooler, then another time make up the hot side pipe and another time the cold side so on and so forth. And then one weekend hook it all up. EGTs will be a non event with a Borg warner even with the factory cooler.

yeah right so i will need to mount the turbo and get it to an exhaust shop for a Dump pipe to be fitted? @AB is that what you did? i think i read that in your build. Any way i can get this Dump made prior?

Im a little time Poor, really keen to get this Turbo on before the Christmas Break if i can as I'm heading to Cape Jaffa in SA on the 27th of December for a Week on the Beach driving and want the new Turbo setup for then if i can.


Mat what do you think of the round airbox that Radius makes? there is a pic on their FB page, i will see if i can find it and post it her.

Here are a couple of pics. 4" in and out with a Pod filter

I like this style a lot but I need to retain the dual battery tray.
