"-Ceramic Turbine

-Water & Oil Cooled

-Ball-bearing core for quicker spool

-Minimal shaft play

Can handle upto 1.2 Bar (18PSi) of boost (quoted from Zoom magazine)"

ceramic turbine handling 18psi? how sure of this are you?

[Cubes]

Maybe on the RB20's SOHC head.

If those pics are of that turbo, its not a rb25/vg30.

Its a VG30DET turbo.

how are you sure of that?

i know the rear sides vg30.. wasnt sure on the housing tho

[Cubes]

Going by the front cover and compressor wheel.

There is no step up from the snout to the comp wheel.

sorry dude, was sold today

Well im sad to report this guy is a Bad trader, partly.

Bought the turbo for $400 + freight, arrived no probs etc

Open the box, all there, look at turbo, yep shaft play as in post, then i flip it over to look at turbine..... and find its got chunks missing out of the blades...

Ie .. its Stuffed ......

So i put turbine housing in vice and loosen the bolts, center spins easily indicating it has been previously removed (anyone who has pulled turbos apart will know it takes alot of effort with a soft faced hammer , loosening the bolts as you go so as not to let it fly off and damage the wheel, to get apart once they have been run for abit) Took the photo below.

Anyway i gave him the chance to respond, his responce to me saying there were chunks missing was, "i put everything i had in the box" ... then i posted this pic to him showing what i meant, and got no responce....

Next day i asked for $100 back to cover damage, $300 is pretty good for a stuffed turbo !, but still no responce.

So all i can do is post this and warn others...... such a shame.

Other than this , the transaction went smooth etc
