Astra vxr hybrid turbo install (krs)

[@adddictionsGTP]

Awesome mate. I’ve literally watched the vxr videos over the last week. Got myself a 2006 vxr 2 weeks ago to play with after I came out of hospital following a serious motorcycle accident. Let the fun and headaches commence lol

[@Yodaracing1]

Cheers mate sorry to hear about your accident hope your recovery is going ok and questions feel free to ask 🤙🏻

[@adddictionsGTP]

@@Yodaracing1 thanks mate. Yeah I’m probably going to have a few. One being open air filter or the diesel air box swap with a panel filter? My sister had this diesel box mod on her’s when she had a brand new vxr back in 2007

[@vxvxr123]

Well done man glad you sorted it all out wouldbyou need to get it mapped again having a new turbo or will it be fine

[@Yodaracing1]

Should be alright as turbo isn’t any bigger than stock etc

[@brian.heslop.399]

Glad you sorted , probs the mk4 gsi turbo manifold mate as its stronger and thats what they use as upgrade hybrid i have a mk4 gsi turbo unit in box its done 35k worth alot so kept for 10 year as spare or to sell if a choose

[@Yodaracing1]

Worth holding onto mate

[@madmaxrccars]

Im Setting up my astra sri turbo and iv just put a new manifold and turbo on it how many turns of preload did you put on the actuator???? Iv put 2 turns on mine do you know ????

[@Yodaracing1]

I took a photo before I removed mine and counted the threads

[@leesawyer323]

Would you not get money back for the cracked turbo? Great work 💪

[@Yodaracing1]

Probably but they would want it back I imagine and krs require the turbo back as exchange

[@ALANVARLEY]

Easily one of the most annoying bolts on any car that feed on top of the turbo 🤣

[@Yodaracing1]

Hahah one of many annoying bolts lol

[@richli808]

Perfect timing (and good work) - I'm doing exactly the same exercise right now! I have exactly the same issues, plus leaking valve stem seals as a bonus. :( kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYKwZWtsjLt_o5I Question: can you recommend a good shop for reconditioning my head? I'm so happy I watched this - now I know how the krs stage I core differs from the standard. And it has motivated me. After seeing the leaking valve stems I was a bit depressed. I'm just replacing the core - I'm keeping the compressor housing. I'm thinking of getting the klasen manifold, it's a thing of beauty and has the corresponding price tag. BTW. Kris at krs said lateral play in the turbine shaft is OK.

[@Yodaracing1]

Where about are u from mate ? Klasen is a top mani just pricey lol and vinnie did my stem seals I did a vid of him doing it

[@richli808]

@@Yodaracing1 thanks, I'll look for that video! I'm a New Zealander living in Switzerland. Germany might also be an option for getting the head reconditioned.

[@Yodaracing1]

@@richli808 ahhh didn’t know u wasn’t here in the U.K. I can’t say I know anyone over there 😂 but yea have a look he does it without taking the head off and doesn’t need a compressor it’s really good
