  1. Depends if the engine has had regular oil changes..

    If it has then engine flush is not going to be much benefit..

    If it hasn't then an engine flush is going to stir up any crap and spread it around motor..Not a good thing..

    What does AJ at Subirex suggest ?

    Haha this is the reason why I ask to see if anyone else has done the risky part

    This is the thing though...Its a bit of a coin toss if you will get a good one..

    What do redline say ?

    I have recently purchased the same turbo tdo5 20g..

    I bought a Mamba brand from Taiwan..

    Haven't fitted it yet so can't review it..

  3. Lots of reading available about these ..

    There are good and bad reports..

    Always an element of risk buying something that's cheap and been copied in China..

    Then again who knows what quality has been incorporated into the product..

    Cost price of $150 nz = $108 us..This is a healthy sum in China..

    Turbo is a precision thing,Are you the gambling type?

    Give it a go and report back..

     Edit..What are the warranty conditions from Redline ?

    That's like me, I have 4 sets of first gen RS wheels now I think...

     

    Yesterday I finally pulled down the engine that I seized mid stage a month or so back, I found a hole in the block, and this.

    Yes, that's the top of the piston completely split off....

    Turns out it was a closed deck block too, RIP... New build time!

    Crikey..

    gudgeon pin looks ok..

    What came first..Piston failure or rod destruction ?
