/\/\/\/\ Very good post mate, as i have bin trying to say for a long time on here this guy (EVO 400) is the man. the GT3071 is a good turbo but it is flawed. clipping is not a good idea on modern turbos when we are all striving for less lag. if you want to upgrade then go for a GT28 as they are just as good but better sized. if you really want more then there is the GT2830 which is a wicked combo for 2.0ltrs (just ask Claudis (i think) on www.lancerregister).
just my thoguths but there you go!
thanks Chris!

Well Chris I would be willing to give it a honest go. We will see if we can work somthing out.

Yup how did you know that it's a white plastic hose??? It's freaking cheap. You can’t' push it or it snaps off like a *****. I guess I will get something from home depo tonight, I hope they will have a small hose like that. About the engine check light do you think it was because the hose snapped??? I have not touched anything else besides installing the plastic in the bottom. I just can't imagine how sensitive our ECU is????????

EVO 400, is your turbo eligable for Grp N regs or not? just wondering.
Also, any news on your other turbo? dates when it may be finished. am i right in thinking you where looking at it making around 500bhp (on a rooling road in the uk on shell optimax LOL)?
thanks Chris.
PS shame you cant get your turbos over to these people. there is a lot of intrest in them! or if you can, any idea on a price for them? thanks

Just get some of the black rubber line (like fuel line or whatevers cheap) and some brass fittings. I used a plastic t fitting, but you may want to get another because mine always tend to break when I pull the line off it.

Well youre not going to know unless you hook it up and scan for codes. But my guess is that it is. I'd double check anyway just for saftey sake.
yea because the light did not show up until i started moving that Boost gauges

No offense, but if lag is not your cup of tea, a super charger would have been the answer to your problems. But obviously that's not applicable
But what you also need to remember is just because the turbo doesn't spool as fast, that doesn't mean that you aren't makeing more/same power. I dont have the dyno's in front of me, but take a look at the POWER curve.

The 16G has gone mid 11s with no nitrous in a car that is full weight. There's no single K03 in the universe that can do that in a full weight Dub.. Maybe if the 1.8T is modded and put in a Super7 LOL.
just to let you know K03 and K04 are great turbos
