Title: t 380 turbo?
Post by: fearsomedan on March 24, 2009, 02:38:16 PM

There's this guy that wants to sell me this turbo. On the compressor housing, it is labled as t380 under model. There is no brand name anywhere on the turbo. It looks like this,

I can get it for $200. It looks like a ching chong meow turbo but it is brand new. Has anybody had any experience with these?

Look that companies' other stuff - manifolds, turbos and even flanges. Its DEFINATELY all CDM crap, just 3x more expensive. Overpaying doesn't make the quality any better. Its obvious that none of those turbos were balanced, no gind marks near the nuts.

If you're going to get a CDM turbo, do it right. Either get a decent one from Evan's Performance, or get the best price on ebay.

That's what I figured. I'll look around for a real turbo.
