Blaze657 Member 13 Member For: 5y 22d Posted 23/04/20 09:00 AM Author Share Posted 23/04/20 09:00 AM To be very honest a 350rwkw should be great and anything over that on a ba xr6t I would be looking at forged internals wouldn’t I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build for it to break at some point if you're over 300rwkw on skinny BA rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you'll be able to push/pull lightly on the core to see if there's too much backwards/forwards shaft play and also if you push it lightly side to side, is the metal able to touch the housings? if any of these are more than they should be, the turbo could be on the way out (and you wouldn't be the first person with turbo issues after installing an Antz, if that's the case).

I just grabbed an Antz kit and was pretty impressed - there is literally nothing there that could an issue to the turbo, although admittedly I opted to get my own K&N pod as I didn't really know how good or otherwise the supplied one was.@Blaze657 I put the kit in last week, so happy to answer any questions on plumbing stuff or take photos of what I have connected where.
