maXpeedingrods T3 T4 T04E Turbo Turbocharger with Gaskets for 4/6 Cylinder 1.5L 2.5L Engine, for Honda Civic 1990-2015 CRX 1988-1991, for BMW 318i 1993-1999, Basic VL Series

Turbo is well made with clean machine surfaces. I purchased it to design an electric supercharger

I have not had any issues using this turbo unit. I have installed many of them.

I ran this turbo for a year around 20psi. Then the following season upwards of 28 pounds. Street and MANY passes at the drag strip before it started pushing oil. Shaft play is now very excessive but wheels are intact.

look great, haven use as yet

By all appearances, and operations.... the war whistle is performing well, I will keep updated; as things progress.....

I got two of these junk turbos the first one the nut on the turbine was loose and fell off trashing the turbine and the second one the turbine blew apart a soon as I turned off my street. Roughly 3 mins or so of run time. Poorly cast turbine wheel I'm lucky these didn't blow up my motor

Installed this on my 95 Acura Integra. Along with a ton of other parts. This thing with pull some boost and man it will just outta lag. I'm used to driving small turbo i4 and the size of this thing is pretty accurate. The turbo is good looking quality and can be clocked. I would recommend this as a good starter or a cheap replacement. Time will tell if this thing will blow under some stress but I'm pretty optimistic.

These turbos are good, they are what they are listed as, and perform as you would expect for their application size(s). Shaft warped/bent after a few hundred miles of operation combined daily and boosting. Mechanic thinks it's due to cheap/bad bearings on the shaft, as this happened to another cheap turbo ordered here on amazon, except that one the nut securing the shaft came loose during operation! If I were to order another one in the future, he would recommend getting a bearing/upgrade kit right off the bat and swap them out before installing. FYI this was with using the right oil restrictor in the oil feed. Under both instances of turbos, NO oil was being burnt or thrown exhaust side. Just beware that you will likely want to be upgrading the internals on these "cheap" turbos if you are in the market for this, and factor that into your budget.

Muy buen acabado y en perfecto estado

I have mounted mine on a 1993 1.3l Suzuki Swift, and it works perfectly fine even though I got it filled with sand snow and ice a few times.... I just wish there was a left and right version of the turbo, as mine points left into my radiator (I need a right hand turbo if mine is considered left hand, ei: reverse the exhaust input flange to the other side of the turbine)

Oil these turbos correctly and they will outlast your car, over or under oil them and you’ll be lucky to make it off the dyno. For the price there is no reason to complain plus there’s discount codes everywhere for maxpeedingrods. eBay turbos have changed since 15 years ago no doubt.

No shaft play at all. Bolted it up, primed it and have had no trouble in over 1000km.

Bought this T04E to replace my worn T04B. It’s bigger and will need to do some modifications to the down pipe and oil feed line but that’s to be expected. Haven’t had it running yet and will update once it’s driving again. The shipping was expected to be 10-20 days and arrived in 3! Very nice! The axial play is practically zero when checking by hand. The radial play is minimal as it should be. It was clean and undamaged when it arrived. Sept 27/23 turbo has worked fine so far. V6 engine over 300 hp at 12 lbs boost and no issues thus far.
