What turbo upgrade are available for 04 gt? Was considering vf36 but was told its not a straight bolt on. Is there any turbo that is a straight bolt on?

G'day mate give phatgt a go, he will be able to help you

I have got a Garrett 2860RS (disco potato) on my 05 - from what I understand, it was pretty much a straight bolt on.

straight bolt on if your good at matching two round holes to a square hole

lol... that is all.

So is there anything out there that is a straight bolt on?
How would a vf36 fit? What would I need to replace?

Firstly, is yours a manual or auto? Thinking it's an auto since it's an 04...

If the VF36 is the manual turbo (Which I think it is) then I'm pretty sure it's a straight fit... But at the end of the day it's still a standard turbo, yes it will produce slightly more power then the standard auto turbo, but not a great deal.

There are after market kits out there from say HKS, which is what I currently have (Phat GT is the man to speak to), but they aren't cheap.

The installer obviously told me fibs..all I know is that it's on my car and does a pretty good job.

Def's one to consider if you wish to upgrade..

Your installer is not really telling you fibs, why would he when he could charge you more for custom fabrication?

The kit comes with an up pipe which makes it straight bolt on. It is just you are not just bolting on the turbo. The up pipe bolts to the extractors at one end and your new turb at the other. You lose the twin scroll function as it joins the two smaller pipes to a single pipe.

How does it go now? Are you auto or manual and was it worth the swap?

I remember hearing James (Darkwatch) had a VF36 'kit' fitted to his car, the downpipe used was a VF36 collector mated to a stock downpipe.
