Obx Ball Bearing Turbos Nay Or Yay
Obx Ball Bearing Turbos Nay Or Yay
Sounds like your mind is already made up.
Simple search on google will yield a bunch of car forums disscussing those turbo's. I have yet to read any good reviews, only a couple and those who wrote the favorable reviews only had the turbo for a few weeks only to change their minds a month or two later, or disappear from the forums completelt (probably from embarrassment from defending those POS turbo's) or at least stopped using those screen names. It's taken Garrett over a decade of R&D to get the ball bearing reliable, you think a Chinese knock-off will have the same high quality of materials and build tolerances? BTW, I was a Garrett dealer and I also am a mechanical engineer, so although its not a "I've used them" review, take it for what you determine its worth.

IDK,
A patron here at the yokosuka AHS just put one of them in his soarer....we should know fairly soon. but any company that rivets a compressor spec tag on the compressor outlet in such a way that it interferes with the silicone connector can not be to bright...
I personally think he is fooling himself, just as you probably are.. but like I said...IDK

edit: and all capping like this will just **** all of us off especially when you only have 2 posts
"FIRST OF ALL DONT SAY THEY SUCK IF YOU HAVE NEVER USED THEM. NEED SOME REAL FEED BACK AND OPINIONS. REMEMBER NOT EVERYTHING THEY MAKE IS CRAP".
second edit: what are you a dealer trying to drum up sales? I think i have seen a similiar handle trying to panhandle crap like that on line before.
