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

[HR31COUPE]

Just look at the pics, that should be enough to tell you it's dodgey.

Take this one for instance, it's an ARRETT turbo not a GARRETT lol.

its not a Garret Turbo..... its a stage 1 Turbo.... With T28 fins..... its a American aftermarket..

[tang0]

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

[gatty]

you may think it's american made, but it's just like buying a "Palsonic" TV, or the classic "Fujita" air conditioners dimmies has been selling.....all rip offs trying to make sales on quality brands

Garret as opposed to Arret - CMON!!!

[R31Nismoid]

its not a Garret Turbo..... its a stage 1 Turbo.... With T28 fins..... its a American aftermarket..

believe what you want.

its still an E-Bay item and stay away form any of it

[Dahtone Racing]

LMAO @ "ARRETT"

thats just pathetic

sorry dude but looks like a shitter

a mate of mine bought one of those T3/4 hybrid things from some web site

went through 3 of em and didnt even get to have car tuned properly cause they all died on the dyno.

[Acidik]

Dont know how much of engineer the guy is but he ain't to flash with his gramma! I would stay away!

[sproosy]

Have a look at all the photos in here: http://digi-hardware.com/photos/Turbos/ The workmanship looks pathetic.........

Shonky as! Who uses a phone battery to hold up a turbo? cmon! At the end of the day dude just save your pennies for a good brand name turbo like HKS, GARRETT etc etc and you should have minimal problems.

[fatz]

will be interesting in 5 years time

cause they are crap now but im sure in 5 years time they would have worked out how to copy hks perfectly

[BHDave]

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 .......................

I've had my Garrett GT30 rebuilt here in Vic.

cost 1k

[discopotato03]

Rebuilt or new CHRA .

[Slide]

ive seen them somewhere before

chinese replicas i think

[Baz]

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?

[Dahtone Racing]

intercoolers are different because they dont have any moving parts

so there is not much that can really go wrong with them

the hybrid copies that are going around are a good cooler

great value for money

i know a couple mates that have em and couldnt be happier

[aKTiVE]

its not a Garret Turbo..... its a stage 1 Turbo....

ahahahahaha i read this, and decided i didnt have to read anymore because it would only go downhill from here.

[Beer Baron]

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.
