New Turbo

[bustafat]

Guys

My current turbo is shafting way too much, and getting a bit too gittery anytime over 5000 revs. Although im rarely there(yes its a bit soft), i'd still prefer to have one that works.

Its a r33 s1 stock (xpt for the exaust), and im looking for something cheap and would run stock boost (Yes soft again), either,

1. Replace one second hand,

2. Upgrade to the s2 or Neo (can i do them both bolt on)

3. Buy the one from Just Jap for about 650 (can i also just bolt it on)

4. Get another for less than a grand

Ebay ones arent an option cause apparently they are craphouse.

Any sugestions??

I remeber reading somewhere that their cold side turbine is made from plastic of some sorts

The ebay ones arn't balanced to the quality of nissan, slide, GCG, HKS turbos

With that budget I would buy another stock one.

Save up then you will have money for FMIC, hi-flow, aftermarket turbo etc if you wish to go down that path.

I have heard of people with the ebay ones lasting long with good power and others with the turbo going within weeks. Just not consistent enough.
