I'll be running a Godspeed turbo as well.
Actually Tyler was the reason I went ahead with it.
I read a lot of good reviews on them.

I think that by smaller radiator you mean the half radiators? That's what I've been seeing to. A stock civic or del sol radiator will work and they are like $80 new at autozone. You might have to sleeve the integra radiator hose over the civic one to make it fit. (Smaller pipes.)

It's up to you man. I'll run mine with the idea that it could have problems down the road. I'll take a few precautions to try to prevent failure, but it's hard to tell til I actually run it.

I've seen an eBay turbo run for 20k miles. 2+ years and still going. Knowledge has a lot to do with it.

I think he was saying get something not eBay, but he's running the eBay turbo he linked to.

well no, that turbo you posted was over priced, get the one in my sig if your going ebay and peice to gether the rest, get a name brand bov and wastegate. and ebay ic piping and intercooler.

i plan on upgrading my turbo as soon as i get a job and some money together because i know they aren't made to last too long.

That one doesn't come with a BOV or wastegate or IC piping. I'm getting all that separate. That one comes with the down pipe flange, the oil feed stuff, the turbo, adn hte exhaust manifold

oh my b it does have a wastegate. So whats the rest of your set up? What ecu are you running? are you running a wideband? Do you have one of those civic radiators?

A good question is how much power do you want to make?
I mean, power goals is a good way to choose the parts you need.

if you are going to buy an ebay kit, my friend has one complete minus manifold and downpipe. Everything is new but out of package. I bet I could get everything for $300 if you are interested. Ebay 50 trim.. also comes with an oil cooler and the intercooler is 4" thick. I'm located in NY so shipping would be extra..

How long does it take to spool up? Does it have a lot of shaft play? Does it leak at all? I'd trust godspeed over a typical ebay turbo but if his is doing fine, I might consider it :roll:

I'm not looking to make a lot of extra power. I'm only going to be running 7 psi at first because I'm not changing cams or injectors yet. The godspeed kit comes with several wastegate springs so if down the road, I get bigger injectors and more aggressive cams, I have the option to raise my psi
