[QUOTE=STI325V6;501441]Turbo installed and car tuned by ASG today, one word describes this turbo...

CRAP

That is all!!![/QUOTE]

glad you gave it a shot. I guess with turbos, you get what you pay for.

+1 for graph and further description of its failures.

[QUOTE=Mister Two;501449]Really? got a dyno graph? How has it let you down?[/QUOTE]


Sean's printer had run out of ink so he will email it to me, but it made less power and torque, I understand that it is a 20G but Sean said it should have overtaken the VF36 further into the rev range, it didn't.

. VF36 peak power/torque 270kw/391nm

. eBay crap 250kw/340nm

The graph will show how much worse it is in the rev range!!

I'd give my left nut for a VF42, Wayne or Jamie, would you like a left nut :D

These ebay spec turbos gav are just thrown together, thats why id rather pay a bit more and get something thats proven. Why not stick with a VF37??

The reason I bought the new turbo was the VF36 was leaking oil and I thought the exhaust seal had gone, when the VF36 was removed we found that the oil drain pipe was not the correct one, this may have been the leak.

But I thought what the hell lets try the eBay one whilst we have the VF36 off, I'm not 100% sure if the VF36 is okay or stuffed, is there anyway of checking the turbo to see if the seals are okay??

It proves that ball-bearing turbos are the way to go, so much snappier to drive on the street.

cheers

I reckon the Tomei twin scroll is the go Gav. will be pretty much on par with the 42 i reckon. I also think its the only ball bearing twin scroll option available bar the factory ones.

Not interested in a left nut mate :D

Where can you buy the Tomei Twin Scroll, I mean another couple of grand isn't going to kill me, just got to hide it from the missus!!

if the 36 isn't damaged i'll buy it off you when you get your new tomei on there ;)

The power figures you mentioned in kW or hp? 250kW (335hp) aint bad for cheap china shit!?

250hp blows donkey nuts.

^^Good point, I think ASG dyno is HP...
