adnanshah247 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 uk's are different, they have steel blades and handle more boost. they wont fit straight on your j-spec though, you need j-spec turbbies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Bullitt Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) Better to replace the J-spec with J-spec, they spool quicker but are ceramic. Uk turbos are made of steel and aren't a straight swap. Edited July 6, 2009 by Frank Bullitt (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gavin.starr Posted July 6, 2009 Author Share Posted July 6, 2009 so quite a fair bit needs to be modified then. where is the best place to get some re-con j-specks from then as im not a massive fan of second hand turbos as you dont know what your getting your self into. gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 IMHO if you want to stay with stock J-Spec turbos (good idea....), then just buy the real McCoy from Toyota. Nic seems to be able to get a fair whack off them in Hong Kong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
