I'd love to see some results and feedback on these.....but chances are no one's going to brave enough to slap these junk on their pride and joy, so we probably won't be seeing any results any time soon.

Is anyone here brave enough?

im hangin to see results, be a laugh if a few pp bought them n every1 started catchin and the price went threw the roof... n they alledge they use the same machines as Garrett how bad can it be? i mean if i jumped the counter at maccas and made a burger i dont think it would turn out a horrible mess...

Bought a cheap shit turbo a couple yrs ago of ebay and put it on my Ca 180sx, lasted about 5000k's then the oil seals completely seperated. All i can say is pay the bit extra for somthing decent...

Any workshop that uses ebay chinese t04e's on customer cars is dodgy I cannot stress enough how many shortcuts are taken to make them (low grade metals, poor balancing)

i PM'ed a guy on ebay about 1 of the afore mentioned turbos his response:

hey there yeah its a good quality t3 turbo it didnt bolt straight on to my r32 skyline i have to get a dump pipe with an external waste gate flange.ive taken the turbo to workshops who specialise in turbos they said it will have twice the power as my standard turbo an i will be able to run 25 pound boost.cant wait to give it a thrash lol.

Just to be sure, I hope no one is taking my above comment seriously.

As LBR33 stated STAY AWAY FROM THESE TURBOS! They are poorly made, and will almost surely damage something in your engine.

The photos above i posted are from the turbo running for about 10 secs

This made me laugh.

i brought one of these, i did a little bit of research before i did, i thought nah ill be alright.

then before actually fitting it i did heaps of web searching and about 80% said stay the f**k away.

so i sold it and brought a garrett.

if you cant afford a good quality turbo(my 3040 was 2nd hand so i got it a lil cheaper anyway) just keep it stock or go hi-flow unless you want to be stuck with no car until you can get all the scrapnel out and afford a rebuild.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
