I picked up this T3/T4 from a local I am going to tune a car for. It's very obviously one of those ZY/XSPOWER split compressor turbos.

So here's the question...

Since I am already aware of the compressor issue with these, does anyone have any insight or experience with them? How do the seals and bearings hold up?

I have two ideas on what I might do. The first is to tig the entire seam of the compressor so I know its staying in one piece. The other idea is to find another compressor housing and wheel and swap it on.

What do you guys think about the tig idea?

 

A few tack welds should get the job done if your really concened about it.I would just run it as is.

 

----, id just run it, id take the wheel nut off and locktite it though., other than that strap it on and ride


much like my mom does to my ***.

just strap her on and ride.......

 

lol and a turbonetics turbine, its a mutt

 

strap it on and ride *****

 

dan quicksilvia has been running one for quite some time now with now problems

 

I'd roll it how it is

 

nah thats a fake turbonetics T. up close it doesnt even look the same.

 

---- it, i think you should slather your ******* all over it

 

I'd be afraid to run a quality comp. housing on it that will outlast the current one. Seeing as how it's the weak link, replacing it will create another weak link by giving it the ability to run harder and longer. I would think the second weakest link would be the compressor wheel, but IDK.
