Follow a bloke with the handle @_w8andc_, his plates on his rig being "w8andc. He's from QLD. Posted up two stories about a blown pulsar turbo that had less than 3k km on it apparently. Bagged the turbos for being sh*t with little info on what happened. They stories have been deleted now too... 🤔🤔 First time I've heard of the pulsar turbo crapping out. Was keen to get other info on the setup. Either way, not a good sign for the pulsar train. But still, for under $1000 you can replace that bad boy nearly 3 times before it's the same price as a Garrett 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was some seal behind the exhaust turbine that was all floppy. I'm a noob when it comes to turbo design, but it didn't seem to have been an oil starvation issue. I wish I could share the video here! 😋 Definitely going to keep an eye out on the FB groups to see if any posts about this comes up! Been deeply considering getting of these cheap turbos, they ain't a garrett but they a third of the price. Its hard not to want to get one 😂 Edited 04/03/21 07:35 AM by biddie_fiddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
