How many china chargers have gone bad?

We have 70 of these things floating around in the last 16 months. We ran one in house for 11 months with no problems. It was in decent enough shape that we took it off and sold it. 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.

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.

Sorry to thread jack, but I am curious, that turbo you have which I also own is it comparable to a 30r?

that's interesting to hear becaue the specs are very close to the garrett 2876r here are the maps for that http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbob...R_705330_1.htm
.64ar on a t25 is roughly equivalent to a .48ar on a t3...except, you know, smaller. I have no doubt that the garrett model with a .86ar would be a good match, but tiny turbine + tiny ar + BIG compressor = a bad combo.
Edit: To clarify, the turbo in the ebay listing comes with a .64ar housing, while the standard garrett 2876r comes with a .86ar housing.

Funny, my oldest cat has gotten into a bad habit of where she does try to take chicken off my dinner plate (she gets super excited when I bring home charbroiled chicken), and she did take a chip off my plate once when I was sipping on a margarita while enjoy fajitas & salsa.
