So I have Decided to Turbo Again ! Just Wandering What the most reliable Setup would be ?? I will be running 323 mani vj-14 Turbo (190cfm) 230cc Injectors, SAFC 2, adjestable 12:1 FMU, Walbro 190l Fuel Pump, RFL BOV (recurculated), Mr2 Intercooler, 2.5 inch intercooler tubing, 2.5 full exhaust, 8.5mm wires platinum 2 plugs, new disty, and boost/temp/oil gauges. Ive noticed alot of people have blown seals on the vj-14/vj-11 turbos, im wandering why this is ? also happend to me. Is the oil pressure to High ?? Anyone have a simlar setup with no problems ? Thanks

i just assume that since the turbo's are older and used that the seals get weak..specially if the turbo has been off of a running car. i had the same problem with blowing the seals in my vj11...but i bought a new one...and now im going BP so...who knows what imma do with these turbos lol

I had my turbo rebuilt before the install and it works great. If I can just keep it tuned right...
