Interesting. Not sure about the cost when you can buy one outright for close the same.

What about this? The price is ridiculous! Is it not a real gt35r and hence worthless?

1st one is still a journal bearing turbo...

2nd is likely a chinese knock off..

I have a local turbo builder who refusses to even use chineese made sub components (not even bearings) due to poor experiences!

I like the idea of NOT doing the same thing as everyone else... but really?

The K27 Upgraded To GT35R turbo is only meant for those not wanting to change the exhaust downpipe and intercooler neck on their 911/930. It is designed to be a drop in replacement.

It’s only the compressor wheel from a GT35. They are installing that and rebuilding the rest of the customers K27.

They offer remedial reading comprehension course at most schools…..
