none so far. it gets hot so, I will wrap exaust very soon with black wrap. local racer mentioned wetting the wrap to make it easier to handle and will shrink when it dries. have seen 10lbs. now. not parts and spools quick. lm-1 goes on sunday.

cant wait to get mine. So how does it run? Im replacing a 125 shot of nitrous in favor of the turbo, will be nice to have the power all the time and not have to worry about filling bottles.

pick one, the only difference I see is the polished ones have an open t4 flange and the others are divided.

ya i have seen those turbos get at least one hole season of hard racing cant complain about that for the price lol there are guys out this way using nos jets to restrict the flow of oil so they don't blow seals and the barrings it seams to be working pretty good so far.

on that post everyone who owns and runs one of the knockoff gt45 turbos love'em. everyone of the negative comments are made by people who ASSume they are the same as all the other junk on ebay. make sure you get the 1.05 exaust housing gt45. that is the one that matches what I have.
