Hi fellas

 

Anyone using one of these yet, just want to find out how laggy they are.

 

Opinions welcome.

Thanks guys

Just wondering if I should get re-profile cams for the installation.

A few people have reported problems with the actuators and or wastegates sticking on the downpipes on these turbos, maybe do a search on TT.net

Is that PE downpipes or aftermarket? NeverthelessI will search as suggested

Good call, thank for that tip, very valuable

An alternative that is virtually identical performance wise but without any reprted problems is the JWT 530 turbo, a little bit more expensive though :(

I already got delivery of the PE1420 today from Chip (GSM racing), I will just have to get an aftermarket downpipes and make sure the wastegate is filed in a bit to prevent the flang catching.

 

BTW, anyone knows where I could get a good 2.5 downpipes?

Why don't you talk to andy duff he has the same turbos as you, five bolt split downpipes are available from here!

 

I would be very uneasy about filing the wastegate and do any changes to the downpipe first if required!

Hello, maybe andy will return one day, but i think he mentioned that the problem with the wastegates on the pe1420's was corrected in a later revision,

wow you actually got your turbos from chip :rolleyes: took him about 8 months to finally give me a refund after months and months of "i have shipped them, they must be lost!!"

 

Very lucky boy

You'll need "custom" downpipes, since the bolt pattern is different then Garrett 5 bolt turbos.

Greg Dupree has downpipes for the 1420's (http://www.specialtyz.com/downpipes.htm)
