    the only thing was the co2 sensor cable not long enough. i had to unclip the clip( from the motor/bracket) and move the harness a few mm's to make fitment. DUE to they had to move the pick up back to fit cat

    I have just put the CPe intake pipe on, with the upgraded turbo and CPe cai the intake pipe does increase power. intake is louder you can hear the turbo spooling a lot sooner than before im hearing it well below 2000rpm now. for $300 it was a good mod esp for the lower rpm turbo spool times. 200+ k's on no CEL's to speak off with TBE,turbo,cai,intake pipe.

    Having talked to allstar tuning after considering the BNR - it's worth noting that they do a similarly robust rebuild including garret shaft - cost comes in similar to BNR import + customs, and you have a local 12month warranty, I think. Not a big difference in cost. Local source.

    dont have to worry about customs tax. if u send ur turbo there its only work your paying for! your not buying the item ur having work done to it. 'the turbo u already own' would u like to pay tax on something you already paid tax on?

    Yeah i saw that on the US forum recently. The numbers he was claiming seemed fairly impressive.

    FYI - I didn't get charged any tax or duty on the BNR turbo as it was marked as "repair and return" and the value was only $300

    This might be true regardless of core return as they are reconditioned rather than new items? Even if you buy a core, you're still buying a reconditioned item.
