New turbo's

i was thinking of puttin on one of these turbo's as my current one seems to be on the way out any advise......Is there a catch to the price is it underspec,basically some advise needed please

As far as I know thats "horribly" under spec.

Thats a T2.5
Stock you have a T25

Basically the price says it all, you get what you pay for, even if it was 100% correct and compatible, I STILL wouldnt go for one.

It is right actually.
The major difference comes in is that the Nissan has a thinner shaft.

I have also read, that Autostyle try and stock items, that must have a good standard, according to Speed n Sound.

Check with them what the guarantees are?

So is it the correct spec or what,guys are making me confised here anybody to back Woohaa or Sokar up i am completely lost

Easiest way to find out, if the turbo is right, check the size of compressor wheel & exhaust wheel.

I can't remember the sizes, but does anybody else have them?

Used http://www.turboexchange.co.za/ before. Very happy with the service and the complete rebuild to new spec of my standard T28. Paid R3800 if I remember correctly. Boston Jap-Tech also sold the same T2.5 /T25 or simular for very little money, brand new.

rule number one when buying from autostyle...

make 150% sure that you are buying GENUINE stuff... They have t3/t4s (which are the kakest turbos ever) on their site for like 2950.. i MEAN WTF!!! turns out it's the world (in)famous SSautochrome/XSpower turbos that aren't worth sh1t.

As someone else said - you get what you pay for.

yeah arent those SSautochrome/XSpower turbos? Heard nothing but horror stories about those

That doesnt look like a genuine Garret to me and its way to small the CA18s have a T25 not a T15 which is what they are selling.
HAve you ever tried buying a sender unit for the gauges they sell? I did noone in this country had stock of those sender units and I bet you they still dont.

Lemme tell you a thing that happenned to me at the Autostyle stand at N vs S yesterday. They have one of their half Nos kits on display for R2500 odd some youngster walks up and asks if its easy to fit.
The answer "yes if you have a drill" No mention of the missing fogger jets and fogger pipes.

So I pipe up and say the kit looks incomplete the answer" We sell the foggers and jets as well"
I guarantee you that would only have been mentioned either after money changed hands or the guy tried to fit it.

Thanks, guys from the given info i have to decided a no no on the autostyle turbo and instaed gonna save a couple bucks this month to see if i can get me a garret t28

Why wast your time? Get yourself a Disco Potato and give Dislex a hiding 😛

Man, I wish I had R50k to spend on a motor 😈
Dislex, dont worry, we're all just jealous.....

Where are you going to find one of those 😕 Id like to know too

FSR performance here in cape town quoted me T28 with stainless steel manifold for R6800 fitted

How much for just the Turbo? It should still use the T25 flange shouldnt it

Will get price on just the turbo when i go there on thursday

i have a second hand GTiR T28 with my S14's compressor housing on (it's T4 as opposed to the T3 of the GTiR stock)

we busy having it serviced cuz it has quite a bit of play on. Afterwards, i'd sell it for 3k not neg.

If you want it without it being serviced, i'd let it go for 2k

That's actually not a bad price,where are you based

i'm in JHB and the turbo is currently with rezlo in PE - sending it back will cost about 160 IIRC (well sending it anywhere in SA really...)

Pm me your contact details
