Is it good or not? Is this not a REAL T70?
If it IS good then please delete this post from you memory and dont bid! :Laugh
Thanks.
This rings alarm bells for me, wasnt there a post about this ad a while ago??
He has 138 on his feedback - 100% too. I\'d be tempted at this if I didnt have some other stuff to pay off!!
Take a close look at the exhaust flange on the turbo....... seems to have had some work done on it!!!!???????
Jono
His description of the pulley kit to slow the pump and alternator down and "cavatation" - does that ring true with any of the rotary experienced people here?
Cavitation is the reason there is an AST: It\'s to remove all the tiny bubbles that can cause damage to the engine that can be created through cavitation.
thats one of those fake t70\'s xs power or something like that. good luck to whoever buys it!...really inducer is 59.XX. Heard horror stories about the damage they can do.
correct me if im wrong but dont ball bearing turbos have to be water cooled???
i had one of these turbos and it fell apart in two weeks!
ill put money on the manifold cracking too!!!!
Quotedont ball bearing turbos have to be water cooled???
Not sure - but i have a ball bearing turbo and it is water cooled.

I suppose in theory that sounds feasible, slowing down the impeller will reduce the tendancy of the coolant to cavitate on the blades. However, I\'d be worried about reducing the coolant flow rate around the engine.
Ball bearing turbo\'s do require water cooling. Don\'t think much of the guys description, it doesn\'t sound like he knows what he\'s talking about. Looks waaaay too small to be a true T70, and what\'s going on with the inlet flange? Looks like they\'ve welded a mild steel flange onto the cast turbine housing. If that is one of those XS Power "Super" T70\'s I\'d just walk away. I\'ve heard horror stories about them not being balanced propely and seen pics of compressor wheels that have just come apart. Really nasty stuff.
Hmmmmmmm..... think Il stay clear then, unlesss any one has anything to add.
Mucho thanks for the warnings.
Stay well away:2eek
There is no way to supply that amount of new gear for it to have any lasting quality, the problem is with this stuff it`s like russian roulette, you could buy it and it lasts for years or the glue holding the compressor housing together gives up and the turbo falls apart after a couple of hundred miles.
Save your money and get something you can at least have some faith in;)
