i would have a go at that, but, i would take it to my local turbo place and have it balanced as it seams this is where the chinese are falling down and getting a bad reputation.

The chinese copy everything, years ago it was cheap crap, now they are buying up the worlds reserves in raw materials and producing some of the best products at decent money hence units like this, just as long as your prepared to make them fit that it !
paying top dollar does not gurantee the best product.

Theres a T04 E on my Sapph. But........ Ive only drove it for a week after I bought it before I took it off the road. The car felt slow as fook so I spat my dummy out and just pottered about everywhere.

Hoping it will last at least a little while till I save for a proper T4, maybe with a 247 shaft

What i mean is get a normal turbo that fits T3 rather than a after market one that wasnt made for my car.
