At the time the chinachargers were all the rage, everyone HAD to get one, jk. To be honest, at the time I really didn't have the cash to fork over for a new Garrett unit and the thought of re-building mine was in the far back of my brain. I guess I just figured I would take a chance. The day I went to install it was the last day I touched it. The ****** fought me and wanted to do everything but slip into place, so after enough knuckle busting for the day I gave up. Not soon after that my broken hand ordeal happened and now snow is here.

I'm sure it really is a hit or miss type thing, but do I really want to take the chance of putting it all together only to have to take it back apart. I'm already happy with the drivability the Garrett gave me, as well as the numbers. So the more I think about it I'm probably just going to re-build that turbo and use the chinacharger as a pencil/pen holder.
