Crossover and DP



2nd that notion, external wastegaste is SWEET. unless u worry about an inspection/emissions.
 


thats fine, im sure it will be fast either way. i just like the benefits of having an EWG compared to an internal.
 
Yea i just want the car to be quiet. Im going to a stock catback. It will be turbo to 3" dp to 3" electric cutout to catback. Ill open the cutout when i want to take down a cobra.

No I know I'm just busting balls. :P

Ive used ebay turbos on LSx setups and such they usually last a good year. Spool up sucks! lol

I can't be a hypocrite because ive been looking into them too! lol its the price that makes me go well I could buy like 5 of these for the price of one of those rofl. :th_laugh-lol2:
 
Honestly, it looks just like any other turbo that ive seen. This isnt my first turbo car, its just how you treat them, oil changes, etc. Im gonna take it apart and clean it out when i ceramic coat and powdercoat it. Ive heard that they can have some metal shavings in them, IDK. I got the turbo and front mount for $270 brand new local pick up off ebay :) cant beat that!

You deff can't beat the price dude. The construction of the turbo is what gets you. Ive seen shaft movement in under a month of usage lol. Granted they're deff built better now a days but a few years ago you couldn't find an ebay worth a damn that wouldn't send a wheel flying into your motor lol.
 
Well this turbo is brand new and has side to side shaft play, its normal. If there was no play, there would be no oil clearance, that would be bad. My new garrett turbo i had for my dodge daytona had shaft play out of the box, completely normal. It has no front to back shaft play, thats what you want. Its not a severe amount, just the right amount for the size turbo. The shaft literally just rides on a oil film, just like other friction bearings in the motor, i.e. rods, mains, cam bearings. Lol, sorry i know you know all this just like to talk.

I should of been clearer I meant front to back play and an un-orderly amount of side to side. Compressor wheel starting to scrape. The shaft breaking between the two housings. Seals going obviously lol. Its a fine line between oil starvation and too much to blow the seals.

Bro its cool that someone else actually knows a damn good deal about turbo setups! I wish they would come out with water cooled ebay turbos! Ball Bearing OMG!!! lol.

The one thing I did notice is an obnoxious dp flange side on most of them. Like 4"+ vband are you serious lmao.
 
Lol, i dont know. This one is says its 3.5" but when actually measured its 3.25". Im gonna get a 3.25" v band flange and weld a 3" pipe to it, it will be fine im sure. Yea i know what you mean about too much shaft play, when the turbine hits the compressor housing, thats a little too much!! lol. Idk, time will tell but as you said before, you can literally buy 5 of the ebay ones to 1 brand name one. When it comes down to it though, turbos dont last as long as the m90, but you would be crazy to think it could. It has much harder environment to live in with the hot exhaust and other things. Im hoping that because this is a large turbo that at 18 psi it will be barely working hard, extending its life.
