Well i have to say the turbo finally died. After 4 months of antilag, and 20+psi daily it has some serious in/out shaftplay. The good news is i didnt realize it until i took it off to get ready for the fp3065I would say is was worth the 229.00 i paid for the 16g, but then again not every chinese turbo is going to perform like the one i have. I just got lucky
first time ive actually read this thread, but i run the tc.com evo 3 16g gt which is pretty close to the ebay models and have put about 5k on it and 30 plus track runs, 2 dyno trips, and constant street beating on it. Maxed 314 whp at 20 psi and 307 tq. One thing i have noticed in reviewing my dyno sheets vs MHI turbos is my numbers look good but the curve doesnt hold it falls off fast anyone else notice this or have any idea's on if it's the turbo or wastegate.
I pulled the motor apart searching for the smoke and found two broken piston ring lands!
Both of these pistons was ITM pistons the other 2 was o.e.m and they are fine.

Just for the record, turbochargers do not require any break-in like an engine would. Once the turbo is installed and the engine is started, a 10-minute idling period to verify that the oil lines are not leaking is plenty.If its used and already broken in i wouldn't hesitate to bump that puppy up to 18ish right now
