Default Checkout this turbo!

Anybody ever run one of these? It looks identical to the $1,100 Magnum 80mm.

Here is a picture of the Magnum turbo.


Notice the ebay version, it looks like the magnum logo was ground off

yea! Its a 80/77 with a 1.22 a/r just like the Magnum. It should work much better than my 76/65 1.0 a/r on3

Im pretty sure the garrett would make more power. Would seem it had a bette enginered and more efficient compressor amd turbine blade?

But for the price, you wont be able to beat the magum ones.

Jonathan, click the damn link lol. Its not a real garrett, just what they call it. It is a chinese turbo, but looks the same and has the same specs as a magnum 80mm, BUT it's half the price of the magnum!

If you would go over to ls1tech forced induction part, there are a ton of guys using the GT45 turbo and making tons of power with them.

There are a lot if parts on eBay that look like other mfg's.
didn't notice any warranty might see if its the same. Also I honk the magnums come with the outlet flange.
Interested to see results. Might be like the on3 stuff. Some guys happy some aren't.
