A few mates have bought those kits, and they didnt even come with the turbo advertised, one had a 1.32 ex housing to suit a 20b?

up to you but remember "you get what you pay for"

jeez, 1.32? No boost until end of 2nd gear, beginning of 3rd gear or something?

[tridentt150v]

If you do then you'll have to change your username to cheap sh1t...........lol

[mesmerized]

search 't70' and you'll see all the negative feedback............

The classic line.

But this time I have to agree.. I usually don't but in regards to turbo's its really true.

You might as well pay a little extra and get something good, that is known to be good.

Piece of mind, and will probably be proven by other people to be a good quality product, that shows positive results.

Thanks,

Abu

yeah stay away a decent ball beaing turbo is around $1500 usually

the manifold is another $1000+ and the wastegate another $500

so if the whole thing is for $700 then expect ...

[R31Nismoid]

Nice manifold.

Looks like it would crack nicely as soon as any decent heat is run through it un-modded.

1.32 isnt TOO bad on a 20b. the exhaust they produce is equivalent to a 3L.

ive seen a few of those turbos die. i think its the oil feed through. if you put this on make sure you get a 6mm oil feed made up for it. everyone i know thats failed has used the standard lines.

I was thinking the Exact same thing.

[BAMR33]

Expect this

And this

And you should probably change your user name to cheap sh1t as mentioned earlier.

my 2c

Don't buy it I'm with the others:

Manifold - will crack within a few months, face won't be straight, will need a bit of modding to fit

has the tube supporst on the wrong side!!!! so they won't stop it cracking, will need to spend about $150 on welding to actually make sure it doesn't crack, better off spending that money on something decent

Wastegate, looks like an XSPower Tial Copy, they are crap, I've heard of alsorts, mostly stuck spring/wastegate flap, which is bad especially if you are running high boost

Turbo - looks like the "T70 MonstA" off trademe, it's another XSPower styole copy with "geniune garrett internals(yeah right)" and will fall apart, which could take our your engine...

stay well clear, $700 would buy you a Greddy manifold or something similar, I'd then go get one of the highflows off this forum round 1100-1500 with internal gate, or if yuo really want external, buy a tial 38mm or 45mm and get that put on

[CEF11E]

buy a bolt on hiflow and forget the manifold and wastegate. a bush bearing hiflow can be had for under $1000 and will bolt right on and make 250rwkw, it will look stock and retain nissan housings. it may not look "fully sic" bit it will work

[teazn_r33]

give it a go if you wanna rebuild

manifold will be fine

its the turbz you gotta worry about

[hks3037]

yeah ill stick with the brand names

[Adriano]

The guy who bought the kit with the 1.32 ex binned the turbo and fitted a gt35r, the car has been running with the cheap arse manifold and wastegate for 2 years now without cracking the manifold, makes 309rwkw @16psi, the key is to brace the exhaust so the manifold doesnt take the weight

[Munkyb0y]

give it a go if you wanna rebuild

manifold will be fine

its the turbz you gotta worry about

did bits of your compressor travel the whole way through your cooler, intake piping, plenum, and into your cylinders? on an RB25?

no way !!

i didnt think that would happen
