Twin Turbos
#11
I got skrewed on Ebay, I won an auction for these turbos in the pic and the guy said they are a perfect drop in replacment. I guess their not, looks like I will be trying to get my money back from him. He had pics of them but they looke fine from what I could see, now that I see them in person that crack worried me. My thougths were, "Hmmmmm, looks like the waste gate is not needed, the crack serves that purpose."

Mine aren't a bas as yours ...but bad enough. Mine still cracks through but a much finer crack. Anyhow, from what i've been told is that it will hold but the weld is stronger then the surrounding section which will get stree cracks. I tried tu purchase the manifold seperately but Mazda won't sell it seperate. I've looked in to a custom stainless manifold running parralell and sharing one external wastegate but so far every place that does custom manifolds won't do it. $3500 for a new set when my turbos are good is freekin Bship! That cash is equal to a T04E complete kit which would run cooler and be more reliable.

I think I am gonna go with efini turbos now. I tried to contact JT- imports but not reply. Maybe he didn't get my e-mail to him. Anyone know his user name? I saw that he sells good used turbos for $525 but are thos the efini or the regular turbos?

The above picture with all the cracks is not the wastegate.
It's called a pre-control valve....used to by pass some exhaust to the 2nd turbo for pre-spool before coming on.
Then again......looking at it I could imagine with the wastegate looks like.
Good thing you sent it back.
