How are you liking this turbo so far? Surprised at how cheap it is and wondering how it's going to hold up.

Okay, so, I have the turbo sitting next to me... Going to go speed density at the same time so finishing up that parts allocation... But, what can I expect realistically?? Site says 450hp (at the flywheel?) at 28psi...will I be able to at least get 400 wheel? Debating on 3 or 4 bar map currently...

I think you should be able to get that...based on the flow charts I have seen for this size of turbo they tend to run out ~22-24psi, I am at 19lbs and ~350/60 at the wheel

I've been running a Twisted Motion 20g on my EJ207 for 2 years now, and about 40k miles at 22 psi /w E85. So far no problems. I'm getting kinda of nervous at this point because it's lasted surprisingly long, and I daily it. I feel like it shouldn't last this long..
