low mount t3/t7???

[hosedogg]

hey just wondering if it's possible to fit a t3/t7 turbo in the factory low mount position? or would you deffinatly need a high mount for a turbo of that size? or would i just be better of with a t3/t4? and one other thing, has any one had any experiance with ebay turbo's? i've heard not to go near them. cheers.

I have a T60-1 low mounted on my car.

do not buy an ebay turbo.

some thing with a big inlet (eg 4 inch) is going to be hard to low mount because the intake piping, unless you dont have air con or power steering then its easy

[Tasmaniak]

perhaps you could explain why not to purchase an ebay turbo?

[hosedogg]

been reading a bit in the past hour or more. and alot of people seem to have gotten great results with ebay turbo's mainly monsta ones. i'm looking at a t3/t4, high mount manifold, 38mm wastegate and screamer pipe at the moment. ebay setup. considering buyig it. cheers.

[Dose Pipe]

ebay turbo's tend to not last long as they are not balanced correctly you MIGHT be the lucky 1 in 100 to get a good one but thats a chance you can take

also the wastegates arnt they great especially the 38mm as the diaphragm splits
in the end its upto you

yeah the guy selling it says he thinks the gate is shagged. there his excact words. so i was thinking of getting either a 40mm or 50mm for when i put it on. well my turbo's stuffed now anyway. when the ebay turbo's do stuff up. do they only wreck the turbo? or would they wreck the whole motor? if only turbo i think i'll get this setup. cheers.

[Dose Pipe]

depends what goes bang. why not just do it once? and buy a good quility turbocharger?

[hosedogg]

the guy said he had it all checked out and its all ok. as he bought it for his bt1, but ended off selling the car. so now he has t get rid of it. cheers.
