Ebay turbo and chinese knockoff. Thread exists on this already. Read it and make your mind up...which Im sure will be not to buy. They dont last, and thats if you get it!

its around harun... somewhere... search with ebay or something

or t70, across the whole forum.

that turbo is rated at around 550bhp @ 25psi on your average motor.

turbo would be ideal for rotary or drag SR20.

Thanks cefiro,

We have a similar sized turbo on a stock sr20 s13 which ran 12.1 and a best mph of 124.

From the info found it seems there are 2 variations of this turbo. 1 good quality and one shit.

Hey,

Ill just repeat what I experienced:

I first saw a turbo package on the net advertising this super t70 turbo with wastegate, bov and manifold. For 1000-1200 dollars, I thought it was a bargain as genuine garrett BB turbos are douoble this amount. I have a saying and it is that "if its seems to good to be true...it most probably is to good to be true". That said, I almost got stung by the hype of having all those goodies us enthusiasts want for such competitive price.

To find out about the genuinity of that t70 claimed as a garrett item, I researched the garrett website and found no turbo of that specificity. No housing or compressor/turbine matches what garrett has to offer, so I concluded that these were not genuine garrett turbos. You may argue that turbos from HKS and the like can not always be matched back to genuine turbo products from garrett since HKS modify the garrett product or produce their own bits, but HKS can be trusted and this ebay turbo...who knows who makes it.

Everything you get in the kit I was looking at (CA18 T70 turbo kit) was made from a collection of cheap chinese knock-off products. Apparently they work, but not for long and some have problems of bad workmanship. You only need to read about the suppliers negative feedback to see what is going on (and oh yeah, dont read they're positive feedback, its bullshit I reckon and doesnt fit the negative feedback. Its inconsistant). Try to contact the supplier and you wont get an answer.

I know of someone who had one of these turbos on his car. It ran for two months and made average power.

I am unhapy to say that I am almost certain you will be very dissapointed with the result. I was dissapointed that this offer was a dud, but in the end, happier than to have lost over a grand for crap material. I then bought a genuine GT30R

You did the right thing to ask on this forum as there are some good bargains going around such as the hybrid copy coolers which work extremely well for street applications ( i have one on my car). But these turbos are best to shy away from.

Interesting to here what others have to say but last time, it was pretty unanimous.

Hope this helps
