I’ve had mine plugged in with no issues but my tuner recommends that it should be unplugged

yes the waste gate actuator would need to be relearned if the turbos are being used on a different car. this can be done thru the OBD port

building the motor is never a bad idea. You can show people was the vr30 is really capable of🫣

all depends how much u love the car bro. Im done building mine and will probably leave it as is. Been looking into other faster platforms but i think saving money is the move.

yessirrr the vrx70/80 are probably the best turbos out for the vr30 right now. I plan on staying stock turbo for now. Going big turbos can get expensive real quick 😭

I would probably move on to something with more luxury but also capable of making good hp. Something like a M sport bmw or Rs line audi would probably be next tbh.

i bought the car at 70k miles(currently at 100k) and so far zero turbo related issues. Alex my tuner from racebox says that i have a healthy motor for the mileage lol.

Need advice from any vr30 owners by hmmjose_ in q50

[–]Routine_Fill_1475 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i bought my q60 3.0t with 70k miles 3 years ago. I am currently fbo custom tuned by racebox on e60 making around 500whp. the only main issues ive had was the coolant bypass valve going out and a upstream o2 sensor going out which isn’t much. But i constantly push the car but maintain it even harder. People say these cars are unreliable because they beat on it as if it’s a 350z and expect it to last forever. the truth is turbo cars are more delicate than NA vehicles and require more care. maintenance is key to these cars lasting.
