JackyBoi Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 So after a discussion with Lee at SRD and weighing up my options I bit the bullet and purchased one of these.... It's a Precision 6266 journal bearing with a divided 1.0 A/R exhaust housing it took a fair while to make my mind up, but for £950 brand new I couldn't really see a more viable option. Plus Precision seem to have nothing but good reviews, and they look amazing just waiting to pick it up now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Style Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Gen2? At that price I wouldn't have thought so but if it is then I'll be on the phone to Lee myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Gen2? No, journal, otherwise I would have said dbb haha, the GEN2's are 1500 brand new. The 600 price gap caused me to lean massively to the journal bearing as it's still an amazing turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackyBoi Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 A quick test fit using a massive Borg Warner turbo went well - plenty of clearance against the strut and manifold. It looks weird seeing just one turbo! Hopefully the 6266 should be ready to pick up in the next week or two. On another note, to fix my axle tramp and save my driveline from being destroyed, I'm purchasing some polyurethane rear subframe bushings and some new differential mounts, both from Super Pro. I'm gonna be soooo mad if it doesn't fix the issue as its setting me back a good £300+! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitbox Junkie Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Nice Update lovely looking turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np89 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 You know you need the subframe out to fit the rear mounts don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackyBoi Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Nice Update lovely looking turbo Cheers pal it's just a spare one we used as a test fit You know you need the subframe out to fit the rear mounts don't you? Yeah I'll have the subframe & differential done at the same time. Pretty sure the subframe needs to be removed to fit the new bushings anyway?

JackyBoi Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Started to install the boost gauge today. Had to get some extra vac hose as the hose supplied was very brittle and didn't fit the boost gauge! T-piece in place Found a tiny grommet in the bulkhead so poked a huge screwdriver through it to find where it came out in the cockpit. How it looks now: Came out right next to the Syvecs Just need to find a place to mount the boost gauge & then run the vac hose to it as discreet as possible!

JackyBoi Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Removed the front bumper to sell on to this dude with an awful orange TT auto (has been abused worse than Kim K) if he doesn't want it I'll be listing it on this forum. Cracks will be repaired before hand if requested Running out of things to do now... I need my turbo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to change it myself but it hasn't appeared to actually change anything! Go to your first post click 'edit post' and then the 'go advanced' button, it should then let you change the title.
