380-400bhp capable turbo
Time to put my car back together again
Before I go and spunk 4 figures on an sc38 anybody got anything suitable for a 2 litre? |
Get yourself on eBay and buy a brand new 05 20g for £180 delivered.

Got a forced performance red in the for sale section ;)

I'm not sure exactly what it's going to do to your engine if it did fail? Seen plenty expensive brand named turbos fail on far more expensive engines and not cause any damage at all. Replaced a borg warner last week on a £6000 Volvo Penta, exploded compressor wheel due to choked air filter/over speed. Engines fine |

You've never seen a turbo fail and cause any sort of issue to the engine?
I have and more than once. So shaft bearing fails and the debris ends up through the oil system and causes a bearing to pick up and fail? When you build an engine out of new expensive parts (not second hand) and have thousands of £££ invested in a car there is no point in scrimping on 1 of the most important parts. You telling me that you truly believe the level of engineering and quality of materials in a £180 Chinese turbo is the same as a Borg Warner or garret? Agreed you pay more for the name. Find me a thread complaining about a Garret or Borg Warner causing issues? There are plenty about Chinese built turbos You will find if an expensive turbo fails there will be a good reason behind it rather than it being a fault with the turbo. |
Theres a freshly rebuilt md321s for sale on here at the moment, seems a good deal too.

To be fair good luck to those willing to try out new things and experiment as well |
If I thought it was a risk I wouldn't risk spending the little spare cash I have on one to use on my daily driver, need the car reliable to pick up my kids.
I've used two Chinese t34's, over 12,000 miles on one, two t28's, two 20g's and a Chinese diesel turbo (20,000+ miles) and the laugh of it is the diesel turbo is working the hardest, spinning the fastest and also on an engine that had oil supply issues until the pick up screen was cleaned out, and it's still going strong! Who here has actual real experience of a Chinese turbo failure? |

2 bar of boost and a bad gear change equaled a broken very expensive gearbox. This sickened me after the money spent so i sold of the engine and turbo set up to go back to a more sensible power level. |
All sorted now folks.
Going for something slightly unconventional see how we get on |
