Did you prime the bearings properly and oil feed before running for the first time? :p

I'd say get a second hand one instead, feedback on that turbo was 1 sold and a nuetral comment "pas en probleme" which translates to piece of shit in my dictionary. Tried all them x-s power turbos/ disco buscuit ;) etc years ago and they were all false economies, even after priming them properly they would shit themselves after you put a load on them.

Ive heard stories from some of them, on american Mx5 turbo sites, people praising them, running big power.
Im not sure exactly which ones they were though so I wouldnt take the chance!

Fuck it at that money its worth a try you would have it home and ready for 200 notes i would chance it but keep an eye out for a second hand one most ebay turbos shit them selves because the oil feed is to small this turbo has a half inch feed and you reduce it down your self chance it ta fuck.
