i can't wait to hear how this thing turns out.
just for clarification, a ball bearing turbo is oiled by the engine oil correct? i would assume that a better way to run these would be to have a sealed ball bearing and simply oil cool the turbo... i'd use a moly lube for the ball bearings
looking good man!

Yes they are still lubed by pressurized engine oil. They require less flow as well.

If your running an external wastegate why does the turbine housing have a wastegate port? Looks good though can't wait to hear how it does.

thanks guys...I'm super stoked about this new set-up.
yes this turbo is lubed by engine oil right of the filter flange just like the stock turbo....I thought ALL the BB turbos were coolant cooled aswell as oil cooled but not the Turbonetics.
it not as big as you all my think....pretty sure it's LOTS smaller then my K26 but I have not had them side by side yet....I still need to pull my K26 off the dub...I have been mad about all this so I just let it sit for a few weeks while all the parts show up...and it has given me a chance to get some other odd projects done.
turbo J it was not as much as you would think...when I was comparing it to turbos like yours they where pretty much the same price...maybe it's cause I'm in the USA??? but small turbos set-up for diesels are not easy to find or source....and prices suck when you do find them...most places want a core too and I had no core for the style turbo I wanted/needed.
the 5 bolt turbine housing can be set-up with a internal WG or external...this is the ONLY way I could get the set-up I wanted..but it's no big deal to just block the internal WG hole with a non-internal wastegate cover...
soon as my other parts show up I will mock it all up on zukgod1's spare head he let me barrow...i' m also building a PP style intake while I'm in here...
STAY TUNED :twisted: :twisted:

haha thanks Ed.....
when you sell your brand new truck to get your wife a nice grand Cherokee with a 3.0 CR Mercedes Benz diesel....suddenly buying a good turbo for my $1400 car seems like a sweet deal..lol....when the wife's happy...I'm happy
I'm defiantly not gonna run this with no wastegate....my other turbo only lasted 900 miles like that....maybe the T3 can handle it?...but my K turbo defiantly could not...and neither could Zukgod1's 2 kkk turbos that he blew....
wastegate is your friend!!!! :wink:
