I used to mod on AOC awhile back before z20let lovers killed it haha Quote
Phil Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 ive no issue with chinese gear, no doubt it cheaper as it doesnt pass under as many Quality controllers noses but your still more likely to get lucky than unlucky. Phil Quote
GlanzaJ Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Yeah I know a few the z20let boys who have ran chinkys a lad I know has mapped a few with good success your best going externally gated though the actuators are weak.If I was gonna go gt28 it would be a chinky turbo for sure.Out of curiosity who you know who runs a let? I used to mod on AOC awhile back before z20let lovers killed it Theres a few big powered z20lets down my way , rix 465bhp , ell 460bhp sam barret but think there running garrets Quote
daniel_g Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 My local chinky, missa wongs wok, gives them away with spwecial fwied wice on orders over 20 quid. Quote
amatthews45 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I know of them guys spoke with rix plenty haha Yeah sure rix runs a owens turbo there are good results from chinese turbos seanT or SM tuning has done plenty Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Surely ain't worth the risk to use one? Quote
amatthews45 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Well theres so called storys of them ruining engines but I know plenty of people who have ran them no problem Quote
Bussey Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I know someone running a 200 quid t4 from eBay............On an rs200 with mild antilag !And he dosent seem to be changing them that often, I know he won't run Chinese wastegates though. Quote
amatthews45 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Chinese wastgates are known to leak. Weld up the wastegate and run a decent external on a chinky turbo and will be fine. Quote
5e colin Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 al depends what you use it for , for street racing 60 to 120seconds full throttle blasts there grand but for a racetrack could be iffy i think ???? Quote
amatthews45 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Racetrack use could be to much but fast road and the qtr mile they will be fine Quote
Ryan-11 Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I know 2 people who used Chinese turbo's, they both blew up, they both bought the same Chinese turbo's and they blew up again, safe to say they never used them again lol, personally i wouldn't use them either Quote
Liam_D Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 I wouldn't use Chinese turbos, everyone I've ever heard of had failed due to shitty copy bearings that can't flow the oil properly. Quote
TurboTobz Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Can't believe the amount of people wiling to save a few quid at the risk of an engine. Quote
daniel_g Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Can't believe the amount of people wiling to save a few quid at the risk of an engine.Wo say waaaaaaaaat ? Quote
5e colin Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Can't believe the amount of people wiling to save a few quid at the risk of an engine. the reality of that is like me and plenty of other members are on a real tight budget no job low on funds then the budget tuning comes to mind Quote
Glanza-Ben Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 the reality of that is like me and plenty of other members are on a real tight budget no job low on funds then the budget tuning comes to mindSurely if you don't have a job you should not be spending on a car at all Quote
GlanzaJ Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 Surely if you don't have a job you should not be spending on a car at all There's allways money for car parts ! Quote
GlanzaJ Posted October 14, 2014 Author Posted October 14, 2014 Interesting to see people's thoughts on them to be honest , i guess everyone has different experience's with them because from the people i know they only have good things to say about them making very good power and keeping reliability , on a track it might be a bit different i agree !

seab Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 Our small turbos come from China some of our competitors have similar performance but not great build quality. Usually find comp covers break due to the material spec not being sufficient to handle the compressor outlet temperature at higher boost and mass flow Quote
