New td04 cartridge / core

[paddy]

Anyone tried one of these before? It's a Chinese td04 core, I paid £90 delivered for it thought I'd give it a try instead of risking buying another smokey td04, anyone use one? Any problems with it? The quality looks good

Would a rebuild not have been better?

Might as well give this a go and see what happens.

I know some cheap stuff can be ok,

Worth the try at least you can come on here and give it a review.

Either folk then have a cheap way to make an almost brand new TD04 or everyone knows to avoid in the future.

Regardless for 90 quid you've either learned an inexpensive lesson or opened the door for a cheap repair.

I've read on Saab forums about them and yet to hear anything bad, im feeling pretty positive bout it I'll post up a review in a couple months

Which one was it? There are a couple of Asian turbo companies that make decent replacements

Would have grabbed one of these for my TF035 but it doesn't seem like they do one for the Subaru variant.
