T70... Opinions?

[Anakha]

Hey guys, I know this is a very open question - but I was just wondering if anyone had any opinions on the performance of the T70 Turbo? I'm at the stage where if I wanna do anything further to my car it should be the turbo - but I don't want to go to big. I'm looking at one for $400...

a turbocharger for $400, cant be too good given a reliable new ball bearing unit is near $1800

It would be lucky to last a year.

aren't these the crappy chinesse ones?

$400 = time bomb.

Bush bearing turbos are $900-$1100

Ball bearing around $1700

If the price doesnt fit to those, dont bother

i know of one guy on here who has used one particular design of T70 (dearer than $400 though, closer to $900) without any issues on more than one occasion

going off your details on the left it says you have a r32 gts-t.. a t70 turbo on a rb20 would be nothing short of useless.

Righto.. So the general opinion is a no go - but mainly based on it being cheap - not on experience. Not for an RB20 - your referring to lag? or something utterly different? 2GU UP was the guy using on the RB20DET? I think we're talking bout the same turbo here

ive got an RB30DET

yeah im referring to lag. The turbo is far to big for your application even if it wasnt a cheap poorly made turbo it would still be useless for an rb20. And as 2GU UP just said the T70 was used on a rb30det
