Yeah, originally I was told a week max. That was the end of August. I'm not exactly mr. patient, but I don't have a choice right now. During this time I've been able to do some thinking, and if I hear of other options that will fit with the GReddy kit, and in that small area, I might go that route...if mine has not been completed by then. So if anyone knows of a way to adapt a better turbo to the kit, versus upgrading the current one, please let me know. Thanks.

a gt30r has been rumoured to fit...that'd be great turbo on this car too
ill probably go that route, as they can be had for about $1500 new..we'll see how much the upgraded turbine is going to cost

the problem with the gt30r is not it's overall size, but the diameter of the compressor inlet. you can't get a 4" pipe down there around the engine mount without some serious work. you can get the turbo with different sized inlets I think, but you're kinda constrained to whatever the T618Z is (2.5" right?)

I am getting a custom built turbo but it has a three inch compressor pipe and a two inch discharge. In your opinion will I need a modified engine mount, if so can you post a pic of yours and where ya got it?
Thanks

I have a custom mount that uses all the stock locations. This is a complete custom kit and I am having PTP install and tune with an FCON. The kit was made by another fabricator.
