I know a lot of people were asking me about this turbo when I originally posted about it in my build thread and I'm finally getting around to posting some results.
I've been running this turbo for a little over 3 weeks now at 20* of timing and still on my 5x.014s and its an absolute dream to drive.
Around town it is very clean with little to no smoke besides the little haze that happens at idle. Highways and interstates are great as well running very clean except for when I step into it and pass a vehicle. Very responsive with off idle spool up being around 1700 RPMs and I'm sitting right on top of the charger for it to light. The only time it gets really smoky is when I lug it purposely or I am to the flow playing around with it. I can be cruising 45 miles an hour in 4th gear and really mash it down and it will blow the rear tires off after about 3k RPMs. The only limiting factor right now is the .88 undivided turbine housing I am currently running. I solved that and ordered a 1.00 divided housing to throw onto it to try out with my 14s. If the turbine is too big for those injectors, I have a set of 5x.018s that I can throw in at my leisure.
All in all this is an awesome turbo with a nice bang for your buck factor. I don't know if anyone still cares about my results seeing as everyone and their brother has one of these turbos now, but I figured I would share anyways.
