Default Second Hand Turbo's ..

Heyas,

Looking at spending some more cashola, even though i shouldn't be .. And need some advise.

Been procrastinating for some time now - But am in the mood to bust out maybe a little over a grand for a turbo. What do you guys think about second hand turbo's?

We've seen one dude on hear have a second hand turbo die on the dyno, is this common or just bad luck? I am looking at a second hand VF34 which has done a little bit of motorsport (few hunds k's) and few thousand road k's.

I know this has been asked before, but i'm not really considering upgrading the 440cc injectors on the MY01 - Pushing them to 85-90% IDC should pull 180KW? Ultimately i'd like to drop in some STi injectors and MRT Fuel Rail for peace of mind which i would probably do at a later date.

So yes, this appears to be a VF34 + STi TMIC build.

Car already has Verso and all of the common mods, making 165KW at the mo.
