good deal man. Heres hoping for a good 360 bearing'd turbo. :)

He said he's fixing it today to get shipped out tomorrow, but still assures me I'd get it by end of week..Im thinking he's full of mexican shit.

I DID find out that the nickname of this turbo is "Y2K". I guess it's a popular combo for florida and east coast guys..it's a p-trim exhaust turbine, .70 ar divided t4 housing, PTE CHRA but with the 70.3mm gt4294 comp wheel, cover, backing plate and etc. Hopefully, it's fixed this time.

Weak sauce on that turbo. A billet 67mm would probably destroy that combo as far as spool and power. The p-trim exhaust wheel becomes a restriction even with a normal old 67mm comp side. An old 67mm is usually the biggest comp side people normally run with a p-trim.

Well, it's too late this year for me to change it. We shall see if I am pleased or not with what it does, and go from there over winter yet again. Still free for the 7th Shane?

Maybe a consultation with shane or other people that know about turbos before reading internet shit and getting crappy whore turbos next time?

Good luck on the 7th I'm sure I will be still unemployed so give me a shout.

[Swifty1638]

well, rhe research I did showed decent results, and I got it for a good price, plus I wasn't too keen on doing what everyone else does. Sometimes I like to take the less traveled path, even if I find out it was wrong.

Not the wisest way to go in the car world. You have a too small and outdated exhaust wheel mated with the worst of the GT42R compressor wheels.

[Swifty1638]

Looks like i'll be changing it over the winter then.
