ebay turbo seller

Thats was my thought also right up to the point i pushed a seal out becouse the internal drains from the bearing sleeves were just too small for 60-70 psi of oil pressure. If i run one again i will open up the restriction a little so i can run a higher flow rate.

the flow wasn't the issue, it was the pressure.

flow and pressure also tend to be inverse of each other, depending on the situation.

Yep, If i open the drain back up a little i will have less pressure and more flow. It least it should!

Got my knock off from CXRacing.com

The first one lasted over a year with AFR in the high 10's (way to rich for mild boost) and a pin hole exhaust leak causing the turbine to overwork itself.

And still it was working fine until I took it apart and ruined the seal.

The second one now is going strong and boosting up well. I'll get a name-brand turbo once I'm done working on this sucker.

if youre worried about price when it comes to a turbo and reliability, and want performance? i would look into the HX series turbo from holset.

This is the route I'm going to go. I can't beat the name brand, reliability (100's of k miles on diesels) and price point. Now I have to do some research to find if I will be using a 35 or 40 and figure the other factors from there.
