I bought a chinacharger that specs out to a garrett 2871 roughly. Im excited to see how it works and what the quality is like. I got it for 299 shipped and should have it tomarrow or fri. Hopefully its good and a few of you guys can get a good turbo cheap.

Where did you get it from?

 

Not bad.. I should have done this. I could have saved like $600 and ended up bigger. I hear they're good too. In for updates and ****.

 

i know a few guys running chinachargers and they hold up well, one is pushing 22-24 out of one the other is running 16. for that price you really cant beat it.

 

Just got it in the mail! Looks really really nice, came packaged with gaskets, covers over compresser and turbo inlet/outlets. And heck even instructions hahaha. But works getting in the way ill have to put it on tomarrow morning and take pictures

 

In for updates. I'm thinking of going this route too. Did you eBay it?

 

I'll second the fact that they look great upon inspection. Mine goes in this saturday and I'll have logs and pictures to accompany it.

 

I think BEGI experienced some boost creep issues that required a garret part. You might want to keep an eye on that.

 

Yeah mine had boost creep issues in temps below 30 degrees, otherwise it holds solid.

 

Is the boost creep and issue with a cheap wastegate or something else? I removed my internal gate and a got a CX racing EWG. Prolly still gonna get creep from the cheap part but oh well

 

i got my turbo from speedyracer on ebay. its a emotor turbo Welcome to E-MOTOR

 

hey guys sorry for the delay. Just got the turbo on the car and tuned it with tuner studio. Turbo fit great and produced good power. I need to get rid of my current cat eliminator(1 7/8 inch pipe). Totally slowings down my spool and boost. I have a 3 inch dp and a 2.5 inch cat back, whoops. haha. Next on the list is a better flowing intercooler off ebay and new piping. This should make my car complete.... well maybe for a day or 2!

 

Nice dude!

Post some pics of the setup.

 

Nice... The only thing stopping me is the lack of ball-bearing CHRA's. Will need the added spool when coming out of the corners. :(

 

If you could, post up some pictures. I'm probably going to order one within the next week or two.

 

In for updates. I've got the exact same turbo. My build is coming together. Just goe the email that my Artech mani, dp, ad exhaust arrived so hopefully the motor will be going in soon.

 

1990mbt- are you runnin any form of oil restrictor on this turbo?. I was running a -4an line on mine and it started smoking, possibly due to over oiling.

 

Same here, I'm going to be putting a restrictor in this weekend to see if it stops.

 

I'll be running a -3 AN line so I"m hoping I won't need a restrictor. If I do, thenI am going to get this:

What did you do about the o2 housing? Did you use theirs?
