Hey Guys,

New to the forums, I've done a little reading but nothing seems to give me the exact answer that I'm looking for.

I have a MY05 (04') Lib GT auto, the VF38 has just packed it in. I'm having rather large issues finding a cost viable replacement for it so I'm starting to look at updgrade options. I've just noticed an AVO400s for sale with headers & up-pipe, would anybody be able to shine some light on exactly what else is required for the turbo to fit? I'm assuming a new dump pipe & TMIC?

Many thanks!

Get the VF38 rebuilt. Should be able to have it done for $1000.

Adelaide Turbo Services said that the VF38 cartridge has become available in the last 6 months as new items, and no longer do you need to modify to fit VF34 cartridge (Which brings cost up to $2100).

Where are you located?

Lee - Located in Victoria, thanks for the help.

Rusty - Thanks for the link. Would you know, does it require any further balancing? Or can I just put it straight in and go for gold?

Thanks again!

The cartridge comes pre-run and balanced, so I'm sure it would just require assembly.

Best to check with the seller though.

Cheers.

Yes, I noticed that on the ad too, pre-run & balanced.

Thanks again for the assistance, really appreciated!

These turbo's HATE not having regular oil changes. Even the specified log book ones are a tad long.

Mine gets changed and flushed every 6 months = 3000kms.

Here's one I changed for someone that had failed to service their GT for sometime...... and the delivery km's only one I got from Japan for them for $1200.
