them t70s are good for about 2 months of hard boostin.. then mega shaft play,. not worth it.. u get what u pay for.. there is no such thing as cheap performance if this turbo lasts 2 months.. u have to replace it.. even if u buy another cheap 1.. them 2 = 1 good garrett.. that will last years if looked after and make good power manifolds are ok i guess.. just the stainless factor.. and the wastegates are **** house.. my mates jambed closed.. = free boost time..=death Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

nah i needed the car back on the road so i just bought a cheapo na bottom end and just slaped all my stuff on it and it was running 8psi to 14 psi. The only thing i dont understand is that theres no oil coming out of the fittings on teh rocker cover but its blowing smoke at at the lights after i give it **** so theres a possibility that the turbos rooted, im gonna grab a compression tester tomorro and check out the condition of the motor and if its ok then ill piss the turbo off and slap a gt42 on there lol.
