was only running 14psi, guess ATP is just dodgy, how do you really know what they replace. A friend in the know recons they didn't replace the thrust bearing and thats why the compressor wheel pulled itself out!

Yes, I though the exact same thing when I saw that what a joke and now they say there gear is from the USA when it was originally from Japan.

Ive just got a reply via email declaring that their turbo's ate 100% made in America, and that they can hold 25psi no problems.

Here is there reply for anyone wanting to know what information they send about the turbo to save you some time:

they show some MASTER POWER turbo's i have 1 on my car now. They are made in Brazil the quality of casting and finish is good. had a turbo guy here inspect it first.

my rb26 made 472bhp at 18psi it is laggy but it comes on real hard.so far so good ive had no probs. i bought mine here in Perth . mine has .70 comp and .84 rear.

Did anyone end up getting one of these? I have been asking around and spoke to a very well know, well respected tuner. He tells me that these turbo’s use old school technology making them quite laggy and so on. Anyway, I have been advised against getting one but I was just interested to see if anyone actually bought one of these turbos?

The turbos are legit but very poor in quality, only get 3 months warranty. They are basicaly cheap copies

states 12months warranty on there web site.

800$ for a direct bolt on 550HP turbo.. you get what you pay for.

i might give one a try, and let people know how it goes.

It will be no where near as good as a real deal garret unit. or a gt-rs.

If it lasts a few weeks I cant see you getting what you paid for mate :cheers:

I was told to spend twice as much and get a real turbo, new GT25/35...

12months warranty.

if it blows after 1week, get it replaced. untill some one who has used them cares to elaborate how well they work, no one can turn aroudn and say 'they only last a week'. with a 1 year warranty i will be confterble. and if it produces that power for 12months then yes its worth it.

GT25/35 :aroused:

i would take a GT25/35 over one of these ANY day,

but im still going to give it a try, if its not right for me, i will sell it. and get a GENUINE garret.

Yeah well this tuner did buy two and said they wher sh!t :cheers: Which sux because I really would have liked a cheap solution. Anyway, you are right if it makes okay power and aint too laggy and lasts at least a year then its okay value.

mate of mine got one for this 200sx ended up going through three of em

fisrt one died on the third dyno run

second one was DOA

third one died after 2 days

the minifold he got frm em is shit as was the wastegate

I bought one all i have to say is he is selling ebay turbos. i did some research he has been operating for about a year under 3 different trading names ang gives false info like the fact they are internally gated which is a load of crap. when i recieved the turbo the plastic bag it was in was starting to crack and go hard indicating that they have been sitting for a long period of time. He also does not know what he is talking about. so DO NOT BUY ONE UNDER ANY CIRUMSTANCES.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
