I bought one from a user on here (G2TegGuy) and found some signs of burnt oil in the turbine. he refunded my money AND paid for shipping back, which was VERY generous of him.

Also, I got my stainless 3" bends and o2 bung today. more updates & pics will come next week

nice, those turbos are big and all but they just suck from my experience... i did have it on a single cam though.

anywho the hx35 is 10x better. what cm exhaust housing does it have? i will be running a big h1c with the 18.5cm housing on my built b16.

take the compressor housing to a bend grinder and grind the v band off it, then just slip a 2.5" coupler on.

I'm just going to go this route.. seems easier. holsets tend to have proprietary sized vbands, and I don't feel like trying to chase down a flange and clamp for the compressor outlet
