Did you see the video posted of the billet turbo where water was poured into the water fitting and it came out of the oil drain? Billet turbo's dont seem too well liked on that forum.

Billet turbo's dont seem too well liked on that forum. back in the early days there were problems like anything but these have been fixed the centers were not vacume or pressure tested but they are now you always hear about the bad quicker than the good its the same in any industry
