>Claim to be balanced>Can buy 10 of them for the price of 1 OEM>OEM Garrett seals sometimes leaking at 45k>Rebuild is $300+ price of 2 china turbosAnyone have luck running china turbos? How many miles do you have on it or get before it shit out? Was it catastrophic or just seals leaking?
>>28607797Japan is close to China, but no one is afraid of Japanese turbos. Why?
>>28607821I think times are changing. Alot of jap stuff sucks now or jap brands are outsourcing to india and china. Garrett isnt made in japan either.
>>28607797I ended up buying one after finding out garrett is making the same turbo in china. Im going swap the CHRA into my current housing Then Im going to port match the manifold on the chinese housing. Eventually I will swap it over. Need to find a cheap enough used exhaust manifold to also port.
>>28607797Lots of high name turbos have manufacturing is China so I wouldn’t really bat an eye. It’s worth a try at least.
>>28607893everything “made in japan” is now made by vietnamese or jeets. just like “made ij italy” means “made by imported chink slave labor”
>>28607821japanese people have a good cultural ethos for quality.making something badly just won't do even if the material quality is sometimes poor or assembly is lazy. they design things around poor quality materials and human mistakes rather than just going "fuck it ship it" like the chinese do.
