EBAY VNT GT-17 for $500... whaddaya think?
« on: March 15, 2010, 08:37:16 pm »

Smells like Chineses to me, no brand name visible, but he's got a bunch of them, and it's the one with no built-in manifold (!!) Might be good to experiment with...

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

Yeah, it's really tempting for us poor guys (me) to cheap out on turbos and stuff but you could by one quality turbo for the price of two cheapos. The only problem is the good ones are harder to find......
