i've tried some and so it isns't and internet sound that coming back here, the most impredictable thing that arrived is the lost of the waste gate valve into the turbine hsg, two turbo's didn't want to product any boost past 4 psi's, waste gates were cracking opens.. ; it's not sure that yours will give troubles, but considering the buy of a good second hand one, as could have been an iveco k03 from a 2.7d ( 50/100$).. oh i dont trust the wastegate at all, im welding up the valve on the inside, removing all the other parts of it and make the housing smooth. Ive got a 38mm Tial on its way already, so as long as the bearing lasts ok and the blades are at some ridiculous pitch i think it will be ok. Im in the states so i dont have as good of a small turbo selection through ebay or other places like you might. I also didnt want to buy one from over seas because shipping can be pricey and if its second had and the seals go out or something parts could be hard to get. Where this i can buy a Garrett gt1544 and bolt it right up if my Chinese one goes bad or just get another Chinese one since they are everywhere here. Im not arguing that its just as good as a Garrett, because its not and never will be. I just dont see the need to spend Garrett type money on this build right now, maybe in a few years once im out of college and feel like actually building the motor with forged parts and such i'll put a proper turbo on it. -1974 Mini 1000 - BRG Turbo Build Soon to come
