02-25-2009, 01:16 PM #3The turbo came off of my friends car, a 71 Datsun 240z with an LS1 and T56. He only had it on there for 60 miles before deciding to get rid of it. Blowing manifold gaskets became a headache. Traction was a thing of the past, car was really good at laying down stripes when boost came on. I picked up the turbo from him when he took it off. It's a Chinabay GT45, 68mm inducer and 98mm exducer. They work amazingly well for their cost, around 375 shipped if you look around. It won't be going in my rustang any time soon. I still have to get my OM617 put together and thrown in the volvo. Until then, it makes a great conversation piece.

Uck, I'm amazed people even pay money for Chinese Garrett-wannabe junk.

On the contrary, LeMons is the perfect place for Chinese clone turbos! Its cheap, it doesn't have to last more than a few days and most importantly, its cheap.
