Do these "MR Turbo" Turbo's have flow maps

Doubt it they are exact knock offs of the garett though so should be similar...

LOL
XS power is a Knock off of garret turbo’s and just Google them to see the crap people are having
Are the MR Turbo turbo’s Chinese stuff?
How do you size correctly with out a flow map? How do you find out the turbo’s efficiency’s?
To me it’s like say I have 4 injectors they look like 550cc , Not to rain on anyone parade but we do own turbo cars and switching the turbo out for one we know nothing about except that maybe on a good day it could make 350HP

Hey Guys I have a problem my down pipe holes aren't lining up with my turbo. Should I have gotten the down pipe from an SR20 aswell ?
Or is the turbo wrong ? The packaging says TB28..... and also this one isn't water cooled like the other one ?

its not a garrett so it wont be exactly the same - specially in terms of water cooled. because of this i would highly recommend an oil cooler in the near future!
when i did my sr20det - it came with a t25g - the stock redtop turbo. i changed the turbo immediately to a t28 from an s14, but i kept the t25g downpipe. that downpipe didnt fit the bolt pattern of the s14 t28. facing the turbo the top left bolt was about a 1cm wider than the bolt pattern on the downpipe. once i sourced an s14 downpipe, everything was fine!

Strange... me and alfy used his stock CA downpipe on the conversion. no fitment issues what so ever.

Same here. I think the one bolt was out with a mm or two but I just used my moms pedicure file and fixed it. hehe

Do you still have that down pipe veecee ? Could you maybe take a pic and post it for me, as that could be the one i'm looking for. My turbo's one hole is also about 1cm off.
