Break these Chinachargers down for me.
As you may or may not know my turbo is on it's death bed.
https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/t32958/#post384559
So the search begins. I haven't seen ANY decent sized Garrett turbos for sale any where. I came across these two Chinachargers.
Take a look and tell me...
What it compares to (Garrett wise)?
Would you run it at 15 psi?
Do you have any experience with it?
I know there's a couple of guys around here using Chinachargers.
Which one do you have?
How long have you had it?
What psi are you running?

I email them for specs. No headwork so how much spool loss should I expect?

I've had a greddy 15g, a SR20 t25, and now the 2871. The 2871 is by far my favorite turbo as far as just driving enjoyment. The t25 spooled great, but it just felt like it died out hard up top. I do wish I'd have tried a 2860 though, as those seem like the ideal sizing.

You arent driving a honda with a 9000 rpm redline that actually makes power past 7000rpm unlike our shittastic engines. This turbo is gonna annoy the hell out of you.

Tell me please, because my 2560 isnt making anything near that kind of power.

Don't make the 2560 sound like the holy grail. Those cars are 1.8s and rocking the better flowing heads not to mention pauls IM. I personally didn't try the 2560 because it did not correspond with my end power goals. The turbo choice (the point of the thread) depends on Levnubs ultimate power and spool goals. If he wants very fast spool, yes I agree a 2560 is the way to go.
