I have the 100$ cheap t3 turbo I never had it blow I drilled out the restrictor with a 5-6mm drill bit . As long as the return is big enough to flow it would probably be fine with a bigger opening
YES! I have a -10 AN drain. I drilled mine out to the next larger bit in my decimal drill bit set for the next turbo I replaced it with. Zero issues since
wonder if you used a restrictor or not cause the lines kit you have to buy separate. restrictor only for ball bearing. i have the gt3583 (street version) on a skyline rb25det for a long time and it's been fine. I recently hooked up the water cooling for increased reliability. its my daily too. hope you got it replaced. i dealt with maxspeed for replacement already and there was no issue, bought directly from website. immediate response. and I didn't need a replacement cause i thought my shock was leaking when it was packing oil lolol. they refunded me anyway! i love maxspeed products and support. will always buy. too me this is knockoff cause the turbo name is usually made with the housing...
They don't need a restrictor. They actually need the bearing oil ways opened up 0.5mm. They run at normal boost levels fine as standard though, without restrictor.
@@niko-mattikettunen1713 not true, ball bearing turbos need regulators not restrictors, journal bearing turbos have restrictors in the center section already.
There are markings on the flat part in front. It is indeed a maxpeedingrods turbo. Other than you saying nu uh and me saying yes huh. I don't know what you expect here....
@thetrispyone7812 they are all the same. They jus put their name on the Chinese junk. But it's still the same manufacturer making the turbos. Maxpeedingrods just know how to market
@@monshuracing I'm sorry for this and thanks to share this bad experience so others and I will learn to check things before ordering, and don't forgot to prime it with engine oil before starting as it will be working dry
Let me guess, you used the oil restrictor with the oil feed kit, no bueno on journal bearing turbos, they need oil pressure to keep them floating.
I use an oil restrictor on mine. No problems.

Some have good luck with the cheap Chinese turbos by upgrading the internals with Garrett replacement parts. Still an affordable alternative.
They came out with some pretty good new ones, most likely a older model

Must have used an oil restrictor, only use them on a ball bearing turbo
How was the powerband compared to a factory svo / turbocoupe turbo? I plan on getting a maxspeeding rods turbo for my 2.3 turbo swapped mustang.
I dont know. Ive never owned a factory SVO or TurboCoupe.
@monshuracing oh alright, did you end up getting another maxpeedingrods turbo or go with a different brand?
@@b323ss2 cx racing .62
I really liked it. Seemed a bit better quality.
@monshuracing alright cool I'll look into them
Wow.. did ya buy a new one, did they warranty it.. what happened?
It was new, it was over 30 days so no warranty from the eBay seller
Try to get warranty and remove the destructor
Is there restrictor in oil feed line
Yes
@@monshuracing that restrictor is meant for ballbearing turbos only.

Should have went with a TURBONETIC.
Lol ain't nobody got money fo dat
did you try the clearance before installation
The bearings had play in it when I installed. I didn't think they would be shot after 3 hours
is it stock?
No, It is a forged bottom end
Thats no a maxpeedingrods turbo there is no markings

@@monshuracing why does it not have the maxpeedingrods name on it

@@thetrispyone7812 thats right as it is not a Maxpeedingrods turbo
@@monshuracing Maxpeedingrods turbo is part of the casting on the compressor housing and not stamped or engraved
Dude bought a chinese copy of a chinese turbo lol
🤣😂
Yee thats the truth its a copy of Maxpeedingrods, as they have it in the casting and not punched, so its not Maxpeedingrods turbo
@@antoineagius1181 I agree. I think the Amazon seller listed it as maXpeedingrods turbo...but it was actually Chinese junk

@@antoineagius1181 Thanks man. It was a new build. I actually did prime the engine before installing the distributor.
