Any try amazon 7cm turbine housings?

[enriquez2000]

I found a few cracks starting when i swapped my o2 housing... specically this one here

Cant seem to find a decent oem one used

I'm running one, I asked same thing I was told theyee actually good and are quite resisting to cracks, my turbo spools great

 

[enriquez2000]

Saw that the threads are 1.5 instead of 1.25 pitch.... is that correct?

I have one i just put on recently. Only bad thing about it is you have to tap every hole to make it fit the bolts. Every one of them. Other than that its great. And the flapper opens all the way unlike the stock one. Good buy for the price. Dont forget to use anti seize too.

So youre saying they arent tapped at all? Or tapped for a different size. The one review i saw said ther were tapped to a 1.5 thread

For $120 and from TurboLab if I have to re-tap them myself...I'd rather just buy the whole eGay turbo, and have a spare compressor cover and WGA for not that much more.

Or you could have just ordered some grade 11 m10x1.5 bolts..

Excuse me. I got the turbolab one and had to resize all the holes to fit stock sized bolts. My bad. I might recommend buying some arp bolts for the exhaust manifold too. Great bolts.

I could have but i wanted my car up and running without having to order more parts and wait another week. Ya dig?

I am currently running it and its really nice. It actually came with all the bolts. They are the 1.5mm pitch. Justin uses those, i bought a rebuilt turbo from him and that housing came on it. Previously i rebuilt an E316g and bought the housing off ebay and like i said it came with the bolts and im currently running it and using the bolts with no issues at all. No boost creep with it either.

Edit - I just read the description and it says comes with bolts

It opens more? I haven't heard that. Link?

 

[enriquez2000]

Guy says he will sell me one for 110 and that the new housings are 1.25 threads and the 1.5 were a mistake

Yes unlike the stock one

 

[bonecollector]

I've been using the turbo lab turbine housing for over a year now, I was sent the housing with the 1.5 thread pitch. I just bought 1.5 thread pitch grade 8 bolts, and installed it.
I took my manifold off a couple months ago to wrap my o2 housing. None of the bolts were loose, or stripped.

Below is a link to some information on the pro's and cons of, coarse vs. fine thread pitch.

Huh interesting didn't know that. Good to know

 

[Maes]

Mine swings all the way open

Mine swings all the way open

I wasn't being sarcastic but you mean your non-stock one right?

 

[Maes]

Yes the turbolab one. I didn't find any other options for a housing. So I got it and it's been working great.

 

[enriquez2000]

Have one on the way.. ill let you know how it goes.. hope he really did switch to 1.25 threads.

 

[enriquez2000]

Just a follow up... thing works great and came ported out with proper holes and all. If youre on a budget and need to get a turbine side I would definitely get this one.

And the flapper opens all the way unlike the stock one.

Ever test to see exactly how far the stock actuator moves from full-closed to fully-open? About 5/16". A flapper that moves any further than that is 100% meaningless.

Flapper just has to release air so JusMx is right as usual.

This is a good budget hotside for anyone with cracks regardles of the flapper hype.
