Hmm I had a T4 .68 GTQ70 with a 4294 compressor wheel I could have sold you for less.

now im regretting going this route at all. 6765 would have been a smarter choice, and to this day i am kicking myself quite hard for making such a stupid mistake.

I say give it try and maybe don't run it to the point where it will blow so you can sell it to one of those people back on teh east coast where this shit is hot yo.

But you are right this is an expensive hobby, especially if you don't want to listen to people that know.

I hope it works, I think find the line where this turbo wants to blow and turn it down then at least you can drive it the rest of teh year that is left.

That line is like..14 psi..if even. No fucking way will I drive this car and waste it's potential with a shitty ass 14 psi..no offense to anyone else, but this car is NOT FUN AT ALL on low boost.

Yeah I bet.. You wait for a good 4k before it spools and then when it does it's only 14psi. I never understood why people put big laggy turbo's on cars and run them at low boost.

Me either. The turbo doesn't even wake up till 35.

I had no clue. :wedgie:

I was thinking mid to high 20s or something.

Fuck that call them back and get your money or tear up the net with negative reviews if they don't want to help you out.
If they won't do a refund then maybe a trade for another turbo.

If 14psi is the line, don't even install it.

I can't, in good conscience try to sell it to anyone I know, or most anyone else. I guess as of now, we will see. I'm calling to TEAR them a new one, and threaten a report to the BBB.

Do it. What company did you buy this thing from anyways?
