Since there are too many stories of
"Im using a GT35 ballbearing, i got it cheap"
"my ar70 is confirm a ballbearing turbo bt not ori"
"my ar70 spool fast, ballbearing"
I am not here to spoil anyones market or sales
lets hear the true story of a DSM'er who is also a turbo expert/service/engineer
he bought the china/taiwan made turbo and ran it to show the outcome
here it goes,
Compressor- 62mm inducer, 82mm exducer; 6-blade.
Turbine- 68mm inducer, 62mm exducer; 10-blade.
T3 turbine inlet, Garrett 4-bolt outlet.
4" compressor cover inlet, 2.5" compressor outlet.
It lasted 400 miles.....barely enough time to get the car tuned properly. We installed it by the books- ran the oil feed to the head with an inline filter and a volume restrictor, and it STILL died. I'm rather disappointed- it really appeared to be quite a well-built piece. I'm going to pursue a warranty claim from the seller, although I'm probably just going to get a poke in the eye. If they don't want the turbo back or are unresponsive to my warranty claim, I'll rip the turbo apart and try to see what exactly what went wrong
So, I suppose now it's time to spill the beans.....
This turbo was a JOURNAL BEARING turbo ALL ALONG. The seller BLATANTLY LIED in the listing....so you could see why I was a little upset. For not much more than I paid, I could've bought a new journal-bearing Garrett. I bought the turbo BECAUSE I thought it was a BALL BEARING UNIT as the listing clearly stated.
Here's the photos that I didn't want to post until I received my refund:
