zpi's 16g took a crap on me. im a little disappointed (which is why i was having boost problems earlier) SOOOOO time to upgrade! so heres my question because i have my mani flanged for a mitsu turbo are there readily available garrett turbos (oh say a gt30r or gt35r) with the mitsu mani flange? if there are let me know PLEASE and clue me in on where to find em!

choose the turbo u want and choose the type of exhaust flange u want.

 

www.forcedperformance.com Stainless Steel Garrett turbo housing with mitsu flanges.....Your welcome!

 

why don't you just rebuild the turbo?

 

i thought about doing this when i had a zpi kit. because of the sharp downward angle of the outlet flange of the manifold. a larger turbo would come in contact with the block/transmition. if you want to use a larger turbo, then do it right. get a peakboost kit. :D

 

I smell and manifold, turbo and downpipe upgrade in the near future. Let me know if I can help.

 

cause there arnt any replacement parts for knock-off china-made turbos....plus the rebouild would be more $ than a new turbo anyways.

 

Hit Paul up at Dezod, he'll hook you up beyond belief and is wayyy to knowledgeable about everything!

 

i appreciate all the replies and insights! you all have been real helpful. and i REALLY... REALLY.... REALLLLLLLLY wish i would have seen brett561tc's comment earlier. since. well i bought a gt30r. sooo not meaning to change the topic dramatically.... am i stuck or what are the options from here??? should i try to bolt the turbo in to see if it will work?

 

well, if you can't cancel the order on the turbo you just ordered, why don't you look into a different manifold to accomadate your new turbo?

 

of course you should see if it will fit. but more than likley you are screwed. unless you want to, as zpi put it to me, "notch the block". give paul at dezod a ring and see if he can cut you a deal on a manifold/downpipe/ic piping combo.

 

notch the block huh.... hmmm i dont know about that. you know (and i definitely dont mean to bash zpi or turn this into a zpi bashing thread) but a buddy of mine got one of their preformance clutches for his xb the clutch was 2 tenths of an inch of and seriously messed his transmission up. they didnt warranty or refund the clutch or trans or do much of anything for my friend. ANYWAYS! yea i think i will give it a try and hopefully it will all work out (yikes nervous). ill def give dezod a call as soon as i find out whether it will work or not. im really not expectin him to cut me a deal SINCE i havent bought from him before but im sure they are fair people and ill try them out.

 

how much do custom manifolds usually run, draxcaliber?

 

you could get a manifold/downpipe from tood at peakboost for $1,325.

thanks for all the help man

 

How long since you had the kit?

 

it was on my car for mayyybeee 2 or 3 months at 14 or 15 pounds ...about 1 bar the cartidge spun in the inside of the turbo or was crooked because of weak parts or somethin.... im just repeating what i was told as best as i can remember it.

 

Theres a one year warranty on the turbo. the turbo is manufactured through turbochargers.com

Send them the turbo, plus your ZPI invoice, and they will rebuild it, or replace it Free of charge. This is the company bought there turbo's through.

Turnaround time is 2 weeks

If you call them, they will tell you the same thing. they warranty all turbo claims.

 

it is still a chinese knock-off of a mitsubishi turbo. probably better to replace it with a real quality part.

 

actually i tried that with mine like you said, they **** on me and said that the turbo might have been from a different company also, and that they could not warranty it for some bs reason
