the reason i was thinkin of one of those is due to 1 thing, its cheap enough for a new one! 2nd hand is always hit & miss so that my reason for thinking one of these may do the job, do you know if they are rebuildable???

only difference between the turbos linked to is the size. They're both very low budget cheap copys. they're not good and my conscience wont let me not tell you they're shit and that you shouldn't use them

Those turbo's are cheap nasty chinese rip off's.

The real GT3076R is about £900. So one thats new for 1/3rd of the price should tell you something about it. It will probably perform 1/3rd as good as the real thing.

well le me be the tes pilot for these turbo's before anyone else wastes here money, i'll do a review on the fitting, then the car will be dynoed and i'll post the print outs, and the next track is on the 14th feb @ elvington and i'll be thrashing the hell out of it, so hang on till then.

Also in my experience with chinese products (garage equipment) they are shite!!!!!! but in there defence if you are prepared to use it as a disposable item, there are a buget option but don't expect them to have a 1/3 of the life span
