Of the units we have sold, two have suspected problems. One, in the UK, which the owner has refused to send back for testing. We will probably never know about that one. The second just got shipped out for testing. I should know more in a few days. I am told if it is a defective turbo from the factory, they will just replace it with a brand new one. Possible/potential 2.9% fail rate if I count the one in the UK. If I do not count it, 1.5% potential fail rate. I'd play those odds. :)

I can get:
1. 3076 with T25 flanges, and externally gated. 0.86 a/r.
2. 3076 with T25 flanges, and internally gated. 0.86 a/r.

We have used the 2871 equivilent also. But no 3071 turbo.

That seems like kind of a shitty combo. Tiny T2 inlet on a .64ar turbine housing combined with (what appears to be) a t04e compressor wheel.... So it would....spool poorly because of the large compressor and....have a shitty top end because of the tiny turbine housing.

Skip it.

What was the spool like on the 2871? Have you used the china 3076? If so, what was the spool like?
