we couldn't take it to the dyno due to an improper obd conversion harness.

I did dyno my own car with the same T3/T40E turbo that comes in the kit and made 310whp at only 15psi

310whp with a 2" bottleneck in the exhaust and and letting off at 6700rpm's. Pretty impressive for a chinese turbo.

i see this guy every day and so far no real issues. there was a problem of blowing turbine inlet gaskets. i forgot what he told me he did, but its been fine. i think he just used a thicker gasket

that kit now has over 30k with no issues. i have recently figured out that those turbos are perfectly fine for stock block setups. they can push higher pressures, but not for long. i ran one at 15psi daily for a while and the trust plate wore out and it started smoking. i threw another one on cause i needed the car and it was fine for a while. i went to the dyno and pushed 31psi with it and a 130 shot on top of that. now it smokes. im thinking thrust plate again. it made over 500whp with vitara pistons though. i held the record for a few days

so, i only recommend these for stock block setups. if you have a built bottom end, its not the way to go.
