Most of you will know of the problems I have been having with turbos this last few months since I got my engine swapped

 

Having decided to replace with new upgraded turbos, everything is now here and ready for fitting..... special thanks to 111mattin111 for the second hand 5-bolt downpipes at a nice price ;0

 

So here are my GTX2860R turbos straight from the US of A

 

I'm not an expert on these things, but Steve at Siverline who sourced them for me tells me that the impeller half of the housing is a special custom one quite like the 'stock' Garretts so they fit straight onto the car without any adaptation. This is an option that is available in the US (but not over here apparently) which also means the impeller housing is slightly smaller than normal for the GTX2860, so these turbos will spool faster than normal at the expense of a little top end horsepower - which is more suited to a fast road car and are also easier to fit.

 

I'm looking forward to getting them fitted and having the car mapped

IIRC Markderby has the GTX2863's which are the next size up. I don't know if he has the machined out T25 front housings on his though

 

@Dan

Steve from Silverline racing got them for me from the USA

 

so does it work out cheaper getting them from him than ordering direct your self ?
