Before, you go flaming, no.. i dont run ebay crap..not internal or what not.

I'm just asking cause i know there's a few guys here who have touched this stuff... so i just wanted to know..

Local guy has a stock gsr swap in a hatch, and a ebay turbo kit. 57trim xs power turbo.. whats the life span on these things, cause this dude, thinks its ***** to the wall super fast.. no idea the psi, and i dont even think its tuned..or not fully.. Just seeing whats normally known to go first on those kits.

 

turbo seals

 

yes the seals go quick especially if you don't use an oil restrictor

 

Is he running the Ebay manifold too? Because those things are super thin, and are prone to severe cracking at the WG flange & the beginning of the runners.

I learned my lesson quickly with the SSAC mani on my very first build.

 

omg ebay, soooo guuud

 

It's just an eBay turbo. On an InlinePro log manifold. And I know the guy, he doesn't think it's blazing, he's just good at **** talking lol!

 

PS: Im not justifying this, I don't run eBay stuff either... unless you count my titanium DEI wrap!

 

its a toss up on those turbos...some last a year or so or some last two weeks

i have had both happen...before i decided i was too cheap to continue having a 360hp turbo DD

 

He's not running a oil restrictor as far as i know.. and from my research on these turbos.. you must run one..on a ebay turbo for it to last, otherwise seals will go.

And no danny, i just wanted to know exactly what to expect when that crap lets go.

 

Thats good ****....

 

Yea I got three 1" x 50' rolls, and I ordered a blanket from Lightning. Gotta cool things down some under the hood.
