GT2540 & GT2860-5

Just curious if the pressure side of the turbo is the same on these models like the mount point or bolt holes etc...

Thanks

You're not changing turbos already are you?

god no getting some custom piping from danceofcurse and some hks pieces for either side of the intercooler and his custom piece looks like it uses the stock rear piece off the rear turbo and a similar piece for the front turbo all angles and bolt holes look like they line up but i wanted to make damn sure that they are the same.

Same as stock, it'll work.

Ok, just checking lol. I was thinking of going with HKS intercooler and hard pipe kit but I don't know yet. I have the 2860r-5s but won't need the soft piping.

great turbo's good choice i have the hks type-r intercooler i dont know the measurements but a lot of trimming to get it to fit to tell you the truth i would get all the hardpipe bits first then go for the intercooler after and turn up the boost (what you running now?) cause im blowing hoses into pieces it sucks and the stock intercooler is good for you yet anyways right. Why wont you need the soft piping?

I'm keeping the stock intercooler, I want response not top end. As for hard pipe, I don't need to blow pipes off so going hardpipe, couplings and T-bolt clamps. Running .8 or 1 bar till the internals blow then installing cosworth/carillo rods and r34 crank with tomei 264 cams. 1.2-1.5 bar then.

Nice... sounds like a good build to me. You wont blow off stock pipes at that pressure anyways... especially with t-bolt clamps, i was breaking hoses cause i used t-bolt clamps on them and they couldnt handle the boost pressure after 18 years lol...
