I aquired another ebay turbo.. yes yes i know guys.. why did i don it if its a waste bleh i told you so bleh.. i know!! I called the seller and told him my story, he told me the turbos they sell come warranted for 3 months, also that they come balanced.. i could care less if it lasts more than 3 months. I had to get it because i needed to drive the car to work and back.
The old turbo was bad..
by the way the turbo series are are generaly bad come with serial number K and some random numbers.
The sorta good ones have different features than the first generation ones.
The old ones only say ar 63 on the exhaust flange and thats it.
The new ones say that and plus some other numbers, The housing has stamped letterslike HHMM or something.
It has clearly printed serial numbers on the oil housing and the Y is clearly printed.
The old ones do not, I fired her up with the new turbo and smoke is gone.
Of course stil smokes a bit from the oil in the pipes.. there was alot by the way.. ALOT a thick layer of oil from the old turbo.
Anywho cars driving fine for now.
Im ordering a real garret from a local performance shop, 650 with warranty NEW.. I should have it by february , late march!
No i will not be keeping the ebay turbo even if it spins freelym and burns no oil.
Even the exterior looks a bit different.

I cant chant victory yet lol its barely been a day . it does seem to smoke BUT it only did it for a while. The pipe was full of oil. Im waiting to see how long it lasts and then so i can call the seller and tell him it didnt work. Im crossing my fingers it did. Spools up nice. This one does spin at idle, the others didnt.
I made a video of the non smoking one!!

Re: Im done
sending a new one, which wont work for long either lol.
I think it blew because i was on the hwy and the hose to the vaf popped out. I gunned it and was hitting one psi.. i probably topped the turbo to its top and bye bye seals.
