people go 50/50 on their opinions on turbocalc.

some say they wait forever for the turbo to arrive, some say they get it right away.

I emailed them once and they said the wait is more common on less common turbos that they have to wait to find a core to rebuild.

just email them and ask all the good questions first. is it in stock? when will it ship? how is shipped? etc...

i checked into turbocalculator, they are remanufactured turbos, so it should be pretty good quality. i would rather get one that had some major shaft play that was fixed, than a junkyard turbo with minor shaft play

there are two things wrong with that picture, first, why are you running a 59300 cam in a Y8 instead of the 105300 that was intended for it?

Second, even if you were running a 105300 cam, why would you want to boost on a "stage 2 N/A cam"?

u read right... y8, with a z6 cam.WHY? cuz it was CHEAP, and NEW

i had to set the timing 5 degrees advanced for it to fit. but its works.
