Yea S14_Sport, thats all its good for..

LoL should have just bought my stockie.. or my holset WH1C... money wasted right there IMO.... or could have bought a Holset HX35 off ebay for 200 a rebuild for 50 and had you a turbo good for 400+.. and had 800 left over to even buy a bullseye housing with a 38mm gate, for 160, and even had enough to buy new 740cc deatschwerks... MUCHO Money waste IMO....

if i bought your stock turbo that would be the 3rd stock turbo i blew! i bought this one for 1000 shipped and it will bolt up to my stock stuff.

also to get the holset turbo to work i would have spent alot more money..... down pipe, wastegate, injector, mybe some charge pipe, something to tune it with, someone to tune it... and the number one problem would be the amount of down time, since this is my only ride..

money is something i dont have right now i am getting married in april and that where all my money has gone...

you say a waste but i say it was well spent...

If you went through 3 stock turbines, me think I know the problem. It's boost controller related

Well I feel your pain about the blown turbo....my turbo is blown. But mine was blown since I installed the engine I just didnt know it until now. But, I'm getting it rebuilt for $300 and its a slightly upgraded rebuild. stronger parts and whatnot. I dont have the time or money for a full fledged Gansta turbo setup right now.

i have my turbo at some guys shop in st pete. he says he can rebuild it but he most likely has to get parts from a nissan dealer but we dont know the part number for the turbo. its an s2 rb25 45v3 turbo. the shop is called florida fuel injection.

I did some reasearch online. Found numerous shops that do the rebuild and I called them up and asked if they have any experience with rebuilding these turbos and alot of shops were able to do it. But, then a local shop I have dealt with before told me he has a guy that rebuilds so I ended up going locally.
