I NEED Boost... Opinions puh-lease

[Nexus1155]

Depends, did you contact ZAGE directly, or are you talking about the Ebay kit, I contacted them over a year ago so times might have changed

The turbos that I have heard of exploding so far, is because the owners did not "prime" the turbos before starting the car, initially spinning an unlubricated turbo. But yes, I know what you mean.

Most common is the GT25/28 flanges on most yarii manifold applications....

I'm waiting to hear from Zage. Also, some quick research shows the flange is a T25/T28, so a 14b would be problematic, but do-able. If they don't wanna sell the kit in pieces I'll probably still consider it... The turbo seems like an appropriate choice, reliability put aside.

So... unlubricated parts spinning at tens of thousands of RPMs is dangerous? News to me

Maybe their turbochargers aren't as bad as people make them out to be.

Btw, thank you so much for pointing out the SR20DET. You can get the GT25 on ebay for like the same price of the 14b. It may not be ball-bearing, but eh
