Anybody ran any of these $200 t3/t4 Turbos? Just wondering if they last a little while or are complete junk. Real reason is I have a chance to trade my good used stock t3 garret for a brand new ss autochrome .50 / .63 stg 3. Of course ill have to drop some money into hooking it up, but I figured run it for awhile then just swap turbos later down the road, but it would be a little money now and a little later, instead of all at once. (in the process of a engine rebuild on my spirit r/t and turbo upgrading wasn't part of the original plan)

they are hit n miss. if u rebuild with quality parts and get them rebalanced you would be better off knowing its going to last lol

If you keep it mild, it might last, moparzrules ran one and melted the turbine wheel, its not made of the good stuff.

Ive thought of buying one just for parts to turn my half assed hybrid into a full hybrid but never got around to it

I guess ill try it out, I heard they sell a ss oil feed line with a built-in restrictor, and its recommended so you don't over power the seals. Simon how do think that 57 trim will act on my r/t with stock head and manifolds and my 3" catless and no muffler system?
