deanrw 2 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 sorry but there shit. how much are they wanting for the setup if you don't mind me asking ? Link to post Share on other sites
chrisvr6t 19 Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 looks like a cheap ebay special... maybe better off buying some parts off him and piecing your on kit... like loom and ecu, turbo manifold , injectors, wastegate if its a tial or turbosmart, and maybe the down pipe..

paceo 22 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 cool thanks, is the a RHD turbo do you know? Link to post Share on other sites
RBPE 198 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Get an SPA cast manifold (good for RHD VR6), cheap but good turbo would be a PT6262 or the like using the journal bearing flavour (ebay) and take it from there. The cheap budget ones I have the full catalogues if absolutely necessary but they cannot even give me tech specs on the materials used so......... malleable metal at a guess + 90,000rpms on the comp wheel + hitting the comp housing = should have bought decent from the start. If you must do it very budget buy one of the US ebay cheapo kits and an SPA mani for RHD and then build a side engine whilst keeping boost to about half a bar - people have run over a bar for thousand of miles on such turbo's though but my above statements are correct! The full kits are about £600-00 or so. Link to post Share on other sites

The full kits are about £600-00 or so. this one has a ARP manifold on it no idea if its LHD or RHD but it was close to the brake reservoir!, just a cheap turbo, problem is if i do buy it and go for another turbo, would i have to have another downpipe made up as not all turbos are they same design!

Daverse 175 Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yup says in the listing, 5 bolt outlet. You can get the flanges for them? Then just weld your downpipe to it Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

RBPE 198 Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I'd suggest staying away from cheap ebay turbo's. The material is sub standard and as it is pliable if you start running any half decent boost then it'll warp and likely hit the compressor housing and destroy your engine and turbo when it breaks - with the cost of fuelling and mapping it's literally throwing money away!
