[QUOTE="[PIMPIN], post: 3524312, member: 2994"] Well, it seems like circumstances surrounding my car have resulted in me needing to look at my turbo set-up. When the engine blew last year, bits and pieces of the engine flew out the exhaust (via turbos) and during the rebuild, I inspected the turbos and sure enough they were on their way out. However, they were strong enough for the low-boost running-in of the engine so I left them there. Now that the engine has been fully run-in, I sent the car in for service and again, took everything apart and sure enough, the turbos are ready to call it a day. It's good that they managed to last during the run-in. So my options so far are as follows: 1) Use the existing turbo setup (GT-RS) but new ones. 2) Go for a single turbo setup (GT35R or GT4088r). The thing is, I'm somewhat attached to the current setup and since I have yet to fully experience the GT-RS with a 2.8 engine, I feel it would be a waste to go for a single turbo immediately. It seems that the GT-RS and the 2.8 engine work well together and having experienced them with a 2.6, I'm keen to see how the torque helps the car really pull out of corners cause previously its been laggy. If I were to go for a single turbo set-up, the GT35 seems like a good choice provided I don't make the mistake of opting for the smaller exhaust housing which I believe chokes the engine. The GT4088r is also a good idea or even a GT42 but then again, lag is a huge factor hence its unlikely at this stage. Plus, the 264 cams would probably need to make way for 272s I reckon. Anyways, I have decided to remove the stereo install in favor of a custom fuel system (considering a RIPS setup) but I'd stop short of changing cams AGAIN. So my questions are: 1) Should I retain the GT-RS combo and be happy with the 600hp or so. 2) Go for a big single turbo setup since the HKS Step II is built for 800hp anyways. Bear in mind this would probably require new cams. In both cases, the fuel system will of course be upgraded. I'm leaning towards a 3L surge tank, based on an estimated 1.5L of fuel per 400m drag so double seems safe or should I go bigger? I know RIPS do bigger and would prefer bigger surge tanks but the thought of having too much fuel makes me uneasy. Comments? [/QUOTE]
