Love this thread - I am following this as I am fitting a GU turbo to my NA GU.
Just a few questions -
1. I have a GU HT18 that does not have water cooling. I assume it is from a intercooled GU. Does this mater?
2. Looking for a manifold - cheapest I can get is $600 any idea where a can get one cheaper.
3. Since I bought the turbo with 3" dump pipe and pipe to air filter for only $200 - would I be better to buy one of these TD05 16g and a high mount manifold to suit. Manifold - $295 Turbo $695.

Will this turbo be much better than the standard GU one as I am only going to run 8psi.
Cheers.
Anyone - must be someone that knows?
Cheers.
Hey mate my personal opinion is the water and oil cooled turbos are far better. Can be a bit of an arguement with some people saying it overheats their cooling system but not the case in my experience.
Hopefully someone else can help you out with your other questions but I would be ringing around for the manifold. Patrolapart in Lilydale, Vic.....Hall 4x4 in Bayswater, Vic......Ebay and Gumtree second handys, wreckers, etc...
Yeah found a manifold from a wreckers for $350. He has a turbo too so will see if it a water cooled one. Taa
currently undertaking this very modification at the moment, thanks a million for the input to this thread gentlemen, it has been a great reference of information, cheers again for the info once again![]()

A motivated person will do more with a rusty shifter then a lazy bloke could do with a workshop.
