Dont just bolt on turbos double the size of standard ones and assume the oil supply will be right for them

Removing the GTR turbos = easier than I thought!

Full gasket set from Nissan is about £80. That includes all copper washers, all metal gaskets and all fabric gaskets for the turbo inlet pipes, all copper washers but does NOT include exhaust manifold gaskets - they're another £30 for HKS ones

hi while on the subject the 34 tubs have a v small oil feed hole, about 0.5 mm & the normal ones are about 2.5 to 3mm so do,s the 34 or 34 N1,s run a small filt or gorz in the oil feed coss this hole can block v easy

My gaskets have been reused five times
