lol, what do you guys think?

This winter if I get bored and change my HG to a metal put studs in and slap a T3 manifold on after getting a proper pump on the motor of course.

I think I could have some fun and If I blow it up then I just get something else it's only $230 or so lol

methinks that the the .60 trim turbine might be a bit high for a diesel...

wonder what brand of turbo that is.... looks suspicious to me.

wonder how they make money selling it that cheap (considering how expensive the alloy's must be.   assuming they did use the proper alloys  :lol:)  

ah thank god turbo's require special metal alloys... stopped hitler from bombing new york!!!  sucks when you don't have what you need  :lol:

Look at the casting quality - I'd say that those are chinese turbo's! Might be perfectly ok, might be made from casting sand... you pays your money and takes a chance!

Personally, I'd rather stick with a 2nd hand garrett or something 'branded' when it comes to turbo's. Don't get me wrong, chinese stuff has it's place, definitely, just don't know enough about their turbo's to make a decision...

I personally wouldn't have a problem using their turbo in an experiment  just to see its breaking point. :twisted:

Hehe bit of a high price for an experiment, but may be worth it.
