Hi guys figured ill take one for the team... Got a na sl with a s2 in it.. Spent heaps of Hours lookin them up n then thought stuff it... Thought a t3/t4 kit will be big enough with high compression. Brought a .4 bar/ 5.8psi waste gate spring koz they come with a 16 in them don't wanna kill my baby yet but maybe... Kit came today so far it's what I expected from CHINA... Turbo looks nice poor castings on wastegate not that I'm worried about that put my 5.6 spring In internals of it look good now the mannifold only one weld missing lol all warped from welding not like its hard to weld it while bolted on a dummy block all flanges need machining on mani inside of it has been die grinded perfectly guess a different guy did that...
Guna be running with a na ecu injectors fuel pump and everything else till I get more cash up.
Wana get a nistune daughter board n some bigger injectors and a fuel reg and rail next...
Won't be putting in till at least 4 weeks... Oh n this is my turbo in counter to so let me no if anythings wrong

How much cash did you spend? I will guess inbetween $600 - $800?
For that much coin if you were patient and looked, you could of brought yourself a Nissan T3 with the factory manifold and injectors... Maybe even ecu. Far more reliable. But i have heard of some ebay set ups lasting time. Keep us posted

06-03-13, 16:49 GMT+10#10 I had a high mt monsta kit for 5000ks. Don't heat wrap the manifol(they warp like crazy), expect the gate to spike then hit desired boost. The turbo lasted a while until 1 decent skid.lol

08-03-13, 12:25 GMT+10#17 I got a Chinese manifold and turbo for 250, needed it at the time as i smashed the other turbo. I hear the turbos are very hit and miss once i boosted mine anything over 10psi it died, it was massively out of balance. Now running a gt35/40 on a ebay manifold, hasnt warped or cracked yet has done dyno time.

08-03-13, 23:08 GMT+10#18 My first hi mount set up was monsta manifold (didnt warp but I cut the flange), 50mm gate and the ultimate lol super t70 well the turbo lasted all of 1 afternoon, got another on warrenty and same thing happened so I bought a t66 and never looked back..the gate worked ok never had a drama and same goes for the manifold
