Pro Boost

[Rowdy]

ok so my turbo oil seal shat itself.

it took me maybe an hour and a half to rip it off and tear it apart. i found the turbine wheel also has a heap of chips in it... from what, idn, it was a cheap chinese one, maybe they are biodegradable like bin bags.

ive got about 800 bucks to spend on a new turbo. nothing fancy needed. anyone got expeience with the pro boost series of turbo charger?

ive got a 32 with an RB20, i was thinking about theyre gt 28 style turbo...

Cheap turbos are cheap because they are crap, and will cost you in the long run. There is a thread at the moment discussing the fact and really man, you should try to do something else. They aren't worth it.

about the only cheap turbo's we will use are hypergear turbo's. So far they seem to be the only sub 900 turbo that doesnt boomerang.

$600 for a roller bearing? lol... it'll be 'rolling' with butter as the bearings.

A decent cartridge alone is $800-$1000... as with all cheap turbos, they are cheap for one reason only.
