Reliability wise? But I pulled the trigger on a pair also hope they last!

Has anyone confirmed if the ebay sets are a true TD04 CHRA as claimed?

 

[Seb335i]

Yes they are

 

[langsbr]

Which? the VIIV, the ispeedytech, the DAW, or all?

 

[JohnDaviz]

ispeedytech 16T are not.

I've had them for 10,000 km's so far, didn't face any issues and still pushing strong.
Car is tuned @chrisdfv on 21-22 PSI (93 OCT + Meth) and pulls really good. 579HP (virtual dyno) will be hitting a real dyno by the in a couple of weeks.

So I went with 17t turbos from viv

do you guys recommend still balancing and getting them check out by a local turbo service specilist?

also besides getting the turbo kit from ecs tuning what else would I need to complete the install or recommend maintance to do while front subframe is off?

thanks

Glad to see so much info on these chinese turbos. I think I’m going to grab the 19T’s this week since VTT has officially lost my business for good. Has anyone fitted the 19T’s yet?

I would for peace of mind, it is small money. The labor to install these is a bitch.

As far as maintenance, you could do your water pump and motor mounts. That is really the only other things in the area iirc. I guess a front sway bar?

It’s the perfect time to do the oil pan gasket as well.

Any update on the 17t VIV turbos? Are they proving to be reliable? My stockers are starting to smoke.....trying to decide if I want to roll the dice on a set of these chinese turbos.

How many miles on your stockers?

Viv 17t’s are proven to last. I know of a few people who have been running them for 20k+ miles. I’m running 19t’s I had upgraded and rebalanced by turbo labs.
