My question is how is the turbo junk? I have seen the manifolds an the need help.Just qurious?

People have had alot of problems with those turbos. Mainly smoking problems because the rebuilds were not done correctly.

Yep, the balancing was not done or not done properly and I've heard alot of their turbo's seize up due to the compressor wheel hitting the hosing.

i noticed that you were one of the people who didn't have a bad experience with this turbo on your friends A6, is it still running fine? and, what does this turbo need to be sufficient? obviously, a different turbo is better, but, if this is the one that you had would re-balancing it fix the problem? holla....

I have that super 70 from them on my cummings diesel an it seems to be holding up just fine,25psi boost daily so far so good

Theres a guy here in Hawaii that picked one up it blew up just idling turns out it had no bearing in it.

These knock off turbos need all new internals, backplate, turbine shaft and thrust system replaced by authentic garrett parts in order to become as reliable as a real garrett turbo.
I can take care of it if you want.
