as with all e-bay jokes... dont go near them

If you want to boost your engine at 10 ponds or over (Strongly Not recommended)  you need:

aftermarket pistons  

Aftermarket Head gasket.  

The maximum recommended Boost on this turbo is 14 Ponds. We are not responsible of servicing this turbo if its been blown by stress of over boosting.

they have got to be joking? this company by stating such has no idea about the product they are selling or the applications it will be used on.

But something from a reputable dealer mate. And save ourself the hassle

E-Bay itmes are no-no's for the msot part

you get what you pay for in the turbo world ... to create a well balanced high performance turbo you need a LOT of :

a: experience

b: tooling

c: research

d: high quality manufacturing

all of these equal a product that is not cheap ....

but you take you chance, maybe you'll get a decent turbo, or maybe you'll be wasting your $600 .. i know i'd like to know that even as tho i paid just under 2k for my turbo, i KNOW it a good turbo and is not going to let me down, or if it does, then i have a warranty with a reputable company ...

just my .02c

After everything said above, no one has mentioned that the turbo pictured has t2 flanges and so wont bolt onto a skyline.

It actually states in the literature that an after market manifold is required if the turbo doesn't fit. :) gold

Gotta love the arret stamp.

Sprucy those things look really rough , can vouch nothing Garrett about them . No doubt the PRChina will get better , Garrett needs to look out if they start manufacturing bearing and seal kits for GTBB Turbos . It seems the US turbo shops can rebuild the GTBB's , its only lack of spares that's stopping us ATM . Its high time Jeff got the finger out and started the ball rolling here .......................

Going a bit off topic. Some of the other china replica parts such as the replica intercoolers for example, are they half decent for the price they ask for them? Or are they just a crappy brand that is going to crap itself in a couple of months time?

mate, that turbo looks fully sick. especially considering that Digi-Hardware designed and built it themselves. I mean who hasn't heard of digi-hardware? they are at the forefront of turbo technology I'm sure. the only problem is, they state that you will need 50cc injectors, and I don't know where you can buy ones that small. hmm, maybe take out all your injectors except two. that should be sweet.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Watermouse · Posted

      Maybe of interest, a little while ago I spoke to one of the guys from Rajab Racing Developments and he hinted to me they could be developing a new cast exhaust manifold. Incidentally, they have already made one for the barra and it looks functional

      So Bathurst coming up so really need to get this new ECU in. I regret going to flex fuel and all the headaches associated with DBW with cruise etc....a miss the simplicity of Power Fc   I make enough power that I should have just gone back to 98 but...anyway Turns out with the std inlet I cant really go any bigger than 60mm DBW so wasnt able to play with that aspect of the update.

      We're bringing Pizzas back!! Pizza Runs, to be specific... We had a practice Pizza Run a while ago, and everyone has been screaming for a proper one...

As soon as we turn onto Homebush Bay Drive, we will be turning left onto the M4 to drive through the new M4/M8 tunnel! Everyone loves a bit of RB action through a tunnel.... We'll exit the tunnel at the Gardener's Road exit, and turn onto Princes Highway, where we'll follow it onto Rocky Point Road and then onto Taren Point Road. Once we reach Miranda, we'll turn left onto Captain Cook Dr, where we'll continue on straight until we reach Talotta's Pizzeria for some pizza goodness!!! There is a small carpark at the destination. Limited spaces are available, but there will be plenty of street parking in front of Talotta's There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost.

If this is what you want please come to one of our track days. This is an official SAUNSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia permit.
