  1. The initial post asked if he could fail a wof. The answer is yes. And there is misinformation being disseminated here. Likelihood of getting away with it is something else, and he has a good chance of getting away with it. Then again, with the tightening grip on wof inspections it may not last long.

  2. (but please continue the discussion) this isnt the end! yep you'll get away with it we all know someone that does / is / has, so, whats the 'potential' fallout? think CSI / or crash scene investigations & insurance in the event of an "accident" (there is no such thing) and even you're not 'at fault', "insurance" may not cover you fir 'illegal mods' and such red tape

  3. Avoid the Cusco for your situaton where it is already cracked. It doesn't have the additional subframe mount so probably won't help much

  4. Just go and get a WOF check and see what happens. I am willing to bet nothing at all.

  5. That's the one I've got, can't fault it besides being flat white and not some fancy blingy colour like every other brand does 😉

  8. thank god someone posted the LVVTA Link technically Jono is right : Turbo Mod = cert as does a ECU change (even on its own) is technically a cert (I'll try find proof in a tic / I read it on the internet : no actual experiance & I am not a WOF inspector / expert) still a better discussion than a facebook mechanic group https://www.lvvta.org.nz/faq.html even a manual swap with completely factory parts is a cert (as soon as you touch the Brake pedal...)

  10. https://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/suplementary_information/LVVTA_LVV_Cert_Threshold.pdf It explicitly says (page 12): 11-1 "Note: LVV certification is always required for the fitting of a turbocharger as a modification, or the upgrading of a turbo or waste-gate." Interestingly it says you'll need one if the fuel type changes, which I would assume includes ethanol/flex-fuel (13-2, page 13).

  11. Ultraracing do an underbody brace combined with the swaybar reinforcement brackets, Pro Wholesale in Tauranga should be able to source you one. Also Cusco do a kit. Tried both and UR will be my preferred option.

  12. 250kw ATW is not within the threshold. It is over a 50% increase on the original factory power output. I needed a certification for my BD5 Legacy TT when Mattchanics converted it to Single Turbo.

  16. Came out of exhaust housing. No shaft play turbo appears to be mint. Turbo would only spool to 11psi on free boost. My question is: would this have caused the vf30 to only hold 11lbs? Dont wana waste my weekend + gaskets just to install a faulty turbo again. Dont know where it came from. Looks like a bit of flexi but my upipe doesent have internal flexi so im thinkn the turbo was working just fine with this weged in there. Was about 600 rpm slower spool then it should have though. Its a risk I know but just thought id ask you guys. Thanks.
