YKE 20T Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 hi boys and girls. just wondering if any one had any experience with those rip off turbos that are getting flogged on ebay. i know they can't be as good as a genuine garret but they are damn cheap. does anyone run or know of someone running one of these turbos? what is there life expectancy? not about to purchase anything at the moment but was curious as to what peoples experiences were.

love ke70 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 from what ive heard KKR turbos are alright, but some of the others are rubbish. if you go onto nissan silvia they sort of have epenis comps about how cheap they can sell u a genuine aus delivered garrett. gt3071r for about 1600... cheers, andrew Quote
Taz_Rx Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 NAY!!!!! Don't buy one of theose $299 new ones, it'll last a week if your lucky!! Quote
YKE 20T Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) suspected as much. my freind had a rip off gt3540 on his rb20 and it lasted 18months. unsure of the brand though. might have a scroll on the silvia forum and try to take advantafe of the epenis comp.

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 I personally recommend horsepowerinabox, they are on nissan silvia as well, donot go with sliding performance, also on ns.com, as after 7 months of waiting i had to consult a lawyer to see my money again. Quote
