Taco's hopes and mostly dreams.

you need one of these........

This car might sound a bit weird after this roots type.

The one in that vid is way overdriven. You only hear mine when winding it out. It could be that that one has no bypass as well. It looks like he has a blow-off valve instead.

Im considering selling supercharger brackets to mount an m90 up to an m20, you will lose power steering unless you went an a electric power steering pump. If there is interest I could make a few, plan is to get them cut on a plasma table, not sure thickness of metal yet.

Ill be sure to check it over to make sure its not a counterfeit, thanks the info.

Edit: Looking at the nut it appears, sends a red flag however I called the company and its a big diesel shop out on the east coast. Ill have it in four days and Ill be contacting holset as well to be 100% sure. No more fake turbos.....

Seems cheap for a new one, make sure it isn't a counterfeit one - http://www.myholsetturbo.com/counterfeiting.html

In my search for a large turbo, I was looking for a deal on a holset. I ended up finding a brand new one for 450shipped, I wanted a water cooled one but these holsets seem super stout from what Ive read and I wasnt going to go with a shit ebay turbo again or something used.

Im going to water cool my waste-gate with the lines the are currently connected to my turbo. Debating about whether I will need a second Bov between the turbo and supercharger to avoid blowing open the throttle on deceleration.
I want to be twin charged in the next month or so, I have access to a few plasma tables so brackets for the supercharger will clean, eaton m90 is also on the way.

Ignore my ignorance.......

its because the roots isn't hooked up to anything.......

Getting a m90 supercharger sometime next week, Ill be mounting it where the Alternator is and relocating it to where the powersteering was. I am also on the look out for a new turbo, something large. Im considering a holset as they are cheap and well large.
For now Im just going to run one intercooler, I don't think they will be much benefit from running an intercooler from the supercharger to the turbo inlet.
Rear bumepr should be going on soon as well.

Sounds like maybe the rotating assembly wasn't balanced well.

Doesn't it have some kind of warranty?

There is no warranty, Ill get a video of the turbo once its off the car just to show how badly it died in such low miles.

It seems like it was manufactured decently well to the eye but
It seems that it had alot of play for a long time and finally got bad enough to burn oil.

How's the GT35 holding up? I've been eyeing their GT35 or GT3071R...

Still working well with no play and everything is perfect. No leaks.

Id like a moment of silence to mourn the loss of my turbo, its dead. Shaft play, play in every direction, burning out crazy oil as all seals are dead. It lasted about 900ish miles. Friends don't let friends buy ebay turbos.

Time to go drop a grand on a real one :D:(:D:(

Wow.

That was fast lol
