good luck, i guess. those turbos are nice and i was gonna pick one up for my talon but decided to go with a t61 cuz ive read tht full spool on a t61 is around 4300 and a t70 would probably be upper 4's, low 5's . thats not tht great on the street with tht lag and this was on 2.0 motor. also those turbos are inefficient till around 25lbs of boost. I am not trying to say its a bad turbo or anything just trying to show u that tht blow dryer is damn big for 4 bangers. IMO

I'm mostly autobahn driver, where my t3 will not support 240+kph, but if I have any problem, I can alway hybrid it with the t3. the price was good I couldn't resist it. ;D

DAM!!!! you might need nitrous to spool that thing( wet ofcourse) But hey what are you gonna do with the old turbo
Cough!!! GIVE IT TO ME!!!!cough!!! 8)

Re:just bought this
 
if ---- dont work out I might just make it hybrid with the t3, cant be too hard, t3/t70, but you know I'm addicted, I couldn't pass up a great deal. plus chinman you know the autobahn demand a lot, with the t3 will just be overheating going 240+kph, when I'm on the autobahn I must own it, won't be that guy going 120 in the fast lane. plus the wheel is only 64ar, the super 60 wheel 63ar, the housing is 84, the compressor 70, I dont think it too bad, unless I'm understanding it all wrong... some expert advise will make me feel better about the purchase... abaz? blacksi/beau?/quadnie

Ball bearing turbo. He wont have any problems spooling it ;)

Re:just bought this
 
if you could spool it quick enough and run enough boost, it would make massive power, but i would think that its overkill for a b16

I got this burning feeling in my stomach, it would have been better if I did not know that, kick me in the nuts for not looking into that, son of a bitch, but then again must experience the crap myself to beleive its crap.

Dude.. you got screwed.. did you send payment yet?

Re:just bought this
 
screw him back since he said it was ballberring if its the ssautocrap turbo. someone should kill that guy for selling the ---- that he does.

Re:just bought this
 
don't pay for it. You might get your eBay account suspended or closed but sure as hell better than losing 400 bucks.

Or you could look at it on the bright side and it might be a good turbo, it does look pretty massive and it is brand new.

I dunno.

Dr.Boost 07-21-2004 05:11 PM

Re:just bought this
 
I would take the negative on that one. The first and second non-paying bidder violation is just a warning. Make some ---- up. Show them that picture of that dude that got his ass blown off his body and tell them it's you. You got your ass blown off so you no longer need a turbo.

I bet that tag on the turbo says something cheesy like:
TURBOCHARGER 123-XYZ
MODEL#BAD-MO-FO
SERIAL#123456

Re:just bought this
 
I'm trying to look at the bright side, I'm thinking of using the compressor side to hybrid the t3 I have,if its possible, cause the only bad thing I heard of these turbos are the compressor wheel nut falling off, I think I can make a t3/t70 out of this misfotune, and about not paying thats a problem, since I always pay as soon as I bought something. but hope it work out for me, not too worried about the turbo, I'm just pissed that this ---- ripped me off. he paid $420 for turbo, wastegate, and manifold, and sell the turbo for $360? that ------- hurt.

well it looks like i got to this thread a little late.

so did you or didn't u actually buy that turbo from the guy?

rudebwoy 07-27-2004 05:19 AM

Re:just bought this
 
I did and then I raised hell about the crap that he is selling from ssautochrome. I got my money back, he gave a negative feedback, I gave him a negaive, he withdrew his feedback, I withdrew mine and it was settled. without a fight

and the lesson you learned should be something like "if it looks too good to be true then it is"
