its ok. Want a better deal? email me. That turbo lags like crazy
I have that manifold and stuff tho, if interested, email me, I need some
extra cash and I am not gonna use that manifold setup for a while, and I can
always get another.

Well my plans are to drop off the vehicle with Aaron @ DriftMotion and have him rebuild the engine with quality parts and upgrade the turbo. Im still waiting on an example invoice for parts and wanted to compare with other parts on the market.

1.05ar hot side is too big for a mildly built 7m. I'm not going to put a turbo like that on a engine we built :biglaugh:

QUOTES FROM THE EBAY AUCTION:

"Modeled after the Great spooling Borg Warner" (with a 1.05 ar?!?) ROTFLOL Borg Warner is the hottest thing on the streets YO!
"FITS Toyota Supra 1993-98 7MGTE" (7m came in a mk4?!? ) ROTFLOL
"( 2 ) 3" STARTER PIPES" (WTF is a starter pipe?)

This 7m sure looks like a 2jz to me?!? ROTFLOL

Also notice the turbo in this picture doesn't look like it has the huge 1.05ar hot side.

They also have 222 negative reports in the last twelve months. That's never a good thing. I hate to sound cliche, but............You get what you pay for...........lol

^^^ exactly IJ. if it had a big wheel it would be a problem. i had this turbo. it would spool close to 4000 rpm. my wastegate was at 10 psi and i could get 10 psi in 1st gear, it really spools hard, really hard. in second it was awesome. but i sold the car. :3d_frown:

1.05 Hot isn't so much of a problem I thought they had the 1.15 AR Housings? (I read that it says 1.05)

If it's 1.05 with a big arse wheel that's another story though.

Hey Mr ball bearings, we are talking about a $100 turbo here, not a Garrett!
