SSAC T70's are in theory able of big power but the problem is that they blow in minutes.
Lots of people want to have these turbos rebuilt because they failed but they are always too severely damaged to be repaired and internals are not standard garrett anyways. the design of the internals as been simplified by that chinese company, which is the reason of their poor reliability.
Yes, they can be purchased for under 300$ on ebay but is it too good to be true
let'S simply say that an authentic turbinetics T70 retails at 1300$.

What is different about the Chinese internals? Just poor quality materials? Or different design?

If you get it to hold together for five minutes you'll be happy. If.

China is the "land of labor." Their people get paid ----, and they are expected to do the job with worn out machines and tooling or failling that a hand file. What's an extra three pennies a day in labor at 15000% markup resulting in a product that costs $5 and sells for $40, and retails for $60 once it gets here. They give the 8 year old kids and beat down grammas a wheel barrow of compressed mule ---- each, and expect it turned into ten "Super" T70s by the end of the 22 hour work day. It's generally a pretty fucked up place - life is not worth what we think it is over there, where infants are stil killed upon occaision for being born the wrong sex, and overpopulation is a HUGE problem.
Just like India started taking American manufacturing and (lol) tech support jobs a decade and a half ago, because the people there were bright and hardworking and willing to do whatever to get a meal a day and a clean bathroom for their families... China has started taking American (and Indian) jobs by being hardworking and willing to pimp their people out like $2 -----s. The whole time America's economy goes down the ******* (look at the value of the dollar) and we shop at China Freight for tools we know are going to break and buy SSAC turbos and manifolds by the ---- ton even though we know they'll fail. We're creating this endless NEED for worthless junk, as we are a disposable culture at it's height. It doesn't matter how long it lasts, what matters is that you got to throw it away, and that the shelves are stocked with more so you can replace it for $3.
