Pics or ban mate..

did he tune it or just do a power run?

[jet2nv]

just a power run with his current tune for a 3071

[wolverine]

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

You physically checked it already?

[jet2nv]

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

[wolverine]

If it doesn't grenade itself any time soon it is the bargain of the year.

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

[Just_Rb]

would love to see pics of it bolted up and the power figure is great with basic supporting mods

[SargeRX8]

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.

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

[jet2nv]

well just to make sure it will last

and the turbo is rated the same as a gt3071 theres not much difference when it was on the dyno compared to the gt3071

it was at 18psi

[SimonR32]

still no graph!

[chris_82]

I had seen those turbos on ebay before u posted, it may be safe to say that ebay turbos are capable of packing a punch. But now everyone waits the reliabilty factor. 260kw is impressive.

[jet2nv]

im waiting for my mate to bring his dyno sheet and car past

[GTScotT]

do u kno were he livz? letz roll up at hiz place

doof doof doof werez ur dyno papa? kick iim

Better yet, why don't you pioneer this one and add some legitimacy once Jez tunes it up.

I'll lend you some free spanner work to fit it.

[jet2nv]

hahahah got his paper finally so it was 258rwkw on 17psi

damm imageshak wasnt working so im using tinypic

[Sinista32]

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.

[jet2nv]

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
