you have a point brett, i suppose that if it caved in you could swap gen OEM parts inside as the casing would be the same.

Just check them through for correct assembly and get them trim balanced. On 19th Feb, 2011 Miniwilliams said:

I would give it a try, as said chinese turbos are coming along in terms of quality, youll still get the odd duffer but you pays your money. I'd only risk it if you have an intercooler tho as i have seen the front nuts come off chinese turbos and you dont want your engine swallowing it. the intercooler acts a little like a post-turbo filter lol. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Let's not forget the genuine Garretts fail -hence why there are so many knackered Saab ones on eBay.

I had a brand new gt1752 chinese copy on my car, it ran about 35 miles before the oil bursted through the turbinehousing. Well it was cheap and the housing etc. wasn`t damaged, so had a company here in Denmark to refurbish it with Garrett parts, and now it runs perfect :).. |
