HE checked it all its pretty easy to check as he has the afm in the cooler piping

so he is checking it to make sure its all good

looks pretty perfect cant complain for the price as it didnt cost extra to bolt on and made the same power less 3-4kw of his gt3071

i ran a poorly built monsta t3 about 5 years ago lasted 3 and a half yeaers on 17psi before i sold the car and upgraded ive seen alot of people run turbos off ebay there seems to be more people having problems with cheap inlet manifold and highmounts over turbos

but this turbo doesnt look like many people on here have tried it YET :)

It sounds too good.

He bought an eBay turbo, with a tune for a completely different turbo, bolted up perfectly and ran it, WITHOUT TUNING IT, and made 260rwkw. That is more power than I am making at the moment with a bigger turbo, more boost and a full tune.

he has been giving it a really hard time and no signs of wear of shaft play YET but we will wait and see

lol @ checking for wear and shaft play after less than 24 hours of it being installed... :rofl2:

MOST AWESOME POST EVER ON SAU. Nearly pissed myself laughing

Yet he's considering spending what will likely end up being ~$700 on a temp turbo?

WTF?

Cutting spending on education clearly isn't working. Then again, someone has to fit my tyres....

For the moment, have to call bulls***, as much as i'm for a good cheap deal, this one seems too cheap and too good, and the graph looks like it was done with excel....

If he's actually done it, f*** yeah and well done. full tune and more boost should make ~300rwkw? Good work.

hahaha excel i dont even know how to use word lol

its all legit nothing has been done to alter the reading its a real dyno read from his car with this $400 bolt on turbo

i guess everyone can say what they like at the end of the day its not my car

he wanted to test it and its proven to be really good

y dont others off here try the same if you doubt it

after all its only $400 and could always sell the turbo to the guys on calaisturbo or r31 club

i wonder who else s face palming them selves arfet a 400 turbo tuned for a different turbo makes decent power

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
