I want to give my experience with this turbo.
I am the first and only owner of a 1995 Eagle Talon TSI AWD.
At just over 200k miles my turbo failed. The shaft broke in half. The cause of the turbo failure, I believe was a cracked nipple on OEM BOV. If it were not for that it probably would still be running.
Super fast boost, even at my 7000+ elevation. Full 15 psi at 2500 rpm.
In my opinion if you have a dd and do not typically rev motor above 4 or 5 k this little feller is a fantastic, very well made, durable turbo.
I however will be swapping it out for a s16g.... Only because of my elevation.
This is in my opinion a very very good turbo if used as it was designed for on a stock set up.
I will not be selling mine even though it will probably just sit on a shelf. It's just too good a turbo to sell for pennies because most want something bigger.
I may be the only one to think this but for stock or mild up grades, and if you want instant boost this is the turbo I would pick.
