$450 chinese turbo and 600 plus HP(food 4 thought)

Here's a long thread about the Chinese gt45 y2004k turbo. I read most of that thread when it 1st started. It seems the reason these fail is they need to be pulled apart and cleaned, before bolting them on. Dirt and nasty little chips are not a turbos best friend.

My good friend,Mark stated the exact thing on some turbos he purchased off of Ebay,He took his apart and cleaned out the machining thrash,
He has been running them hard on his 318 powered fury for over a year now.
He is on his second stock 318.
