Not side to side the turbo inlet pointing up towards the bonnet

not sure what you mean here, but it is 20 from being horizontal long ways so the oil gravity feed / distribution works.



You can always spend another 2 grand on something else, which is why I asked the question to gauge from people out there that have done non standard installs, what the problems were, which way it worked etc.

TD05 may be an easy fit but it's going to be at the expense of lag and boost response Vs this turbo

AHH... i think that's a no go - about 60 degrees incline

Only time i'd bother going rotated is for 600-650hp+ turbos(GTX30-35R). They really need the larger front covers with larger inlets, larger turbine housings and the ability to run an external wastegate, anything less and they just dont deliver.

Really, do you have any more info??? I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on an ATP GTX3076 stock location... Will hold off if you've seen some ordinary results..

Thanks Hally.

I am trying to get hold of a tuning mob in the UK, who recently fitted one of the smaller EFRs into a rexy to ask them those sort of questions

they are called "Area 52"

Good find, they might even be able to ship you a kit. Their twist mount runs at 670 pounds but the site is vague on whether that includes the EWG - that's a good price for the piping if it does.

GT/X30 you can get away with(to a degree), but that's not to suggest that the whole setup wouldn't benefit from running the proper 4in 0.6a/r cover and an external wastegate.

I was mainly refering to the GT/X35, they never make the power they're rated for. Take a look at the 4in 0.7 front cover designed for the 35R and then look at the GT28 3in cover ATP fit to their turbos to fit in the factory location, big difference. Then compare the turbine housing sizes, they're around .73 i've been told by ATP, most gt35r setups run a .82 or 1.06 for best flow/results. The internal wastegates just cant flow what an external one can, this is very well documented and proven on NASIOC.

Do eet op. It's only money

Are there any results out on the ATP stock location GTX3076r, would be interested to see, did a search and could not find anything, didn't even realise they had released them till today.

speaking with those in the know at garrett aus fitting somthing of a gtx3076r in a stock location or retro fitting old say sr56 covers to it isnt worth the money sure you will get a bit better spool times and make 10-20kw difference but your holding the potential of these babies back they really need the covers designed for them to come to life as leon said


MSR is currently doing a porject for his car GTX3076 with the 4" front cover and a sr56 rear to fit stock mount location.... be interesting to see how this goes, wonder if we could convince him to go a back to back with the sr56/ aka 3076 covers on the gtx3076r core?




all i know is its more $$$ to worry about and as binny has suggested why do something run of the mil

[vosadrian]

Does anyone know if you could fit the exhaust housing off an AVO450 to a GTX3071? I know of someone with a 450 that is in need of some TLC (don't work!!). I believe the 450 is GT30 based with the same size turbin wheel. I have managed to get a 3" TD06 cover onto my MY98, so I believe if we could find a 3" cover it may work. Anyone know?

Have a talk to tu/Adam Courtis - IIRC he is doing a Frankenstein AVO550rear/GTX3076 front custom 3 inch cover - so a very similar approach just one size up.

Also FYI Lindsay at Northside 4x4 up here in Qld (wrx_sti_01)is sourcing an (almost) stock location GTX3071R from Yankeeland that just requires a T3 up-pipe to "bolt-on".
