gt2871r ebay

How do you get the exhaust side to work, can't tell based on pic?

i honestly do not trust turboes from ebay ..... i have noticed that new "garetts" are just a garett stamp on the turbo and not actually made by garett ... i wouldnt pay 1700$ for a turbo off ebay .... sure id rock a cheap 150$ turbo because its ebay lol

my $0.02

ha ha - I was wondering the same thing. Looks like an old c900 T3 exhaust housing flange where the waste gate mounted on - then the DP would bolt after that. Little odd - but looks doable. Nice Price? So that is a ball-bearing turbo then?

deff not a real garrett
the stamp is upside down compared to the T25 is sitting next to

They are closeouts from ATP. I could dig up the email somewhere. PS bolt on is relative.

It says on the listing it comes with a 3 inch stainless downpipe.

As Nick said a couple posts earlier, just one of ATP dealers selling it a little cheaper than what they have it for on their website - here.

You'll still need to do a little fab work to make it fit perfectly - just my experience with their VW kits. It is legit Garrett BB GT2871R turbo and pretty good quality for the most part - gets most of the hardware together for you in one package.

Did no one else see this in the listing?

But like Nick said, things never go as planned. At least you know it's legitimate, now, though.

AND an inlet pipe. Nice price considering how quickly $$ add up when you pull together all the little things.

this seems like a pretty good deal actually.. someone get it

Where does this fall power-wise compared to the 19t on a 2.3? Does this push into 400 hp(crank) territory, if running the stock manifold?

Nick T just finished tuning my car with a GT2871, it put 399 on the wheels through the stock manifold.

well shit.... thats some healthy numbers then
would def consider this turbo as a good buy then.

I wonder how the same inlet pipe would work between T5 and T7 cars*

they supply an inlet pipe.... but i realized what you mean as typed that last phrase

That was the third or fourth major revision to the compressor inlet used on Daves car. There was lots of power stuck in the compressor inlet.

The 400whp was on 22psi max with air temps over 100.

Nothing left to give after 22psi on that?

Correct me if I'm wrong, what I think Nick meant there is that when you use the stock manifold the inlet pipe becomes a limiting factor with all the twists and turns to get to that location. The turbo still has more to give, check Nick's signature - he found 40 extra horses with that turbo.

So, while that may be a "bolt-on" kit, certain aspects are not optimal. Still plenty o' fun though.
