I wonder how much longer my T3 with 205,000 miles on it would last. lol.. I plan on getting another turbo when I rebuild it but I am curious. :P

I too have heard nothing but bad about Chinese made ebay turbos (except the price). Then again though, this was on import forums and LS1 forums. Different application so who knows. So much stuff is outsourced today everything is gradually getting to there or already is.

I have the ebay turbo your looking at(one one just about like it, the WG hole is in it, so the stock 83-86 TC elbow and flapper will work

Mine has been on my truck for over 2 years now and over 30k miles.. no issues with it.. I have it set for 20psi
1985 TC (yet another one) Fully loaded
has 225k mile  still with the factory head gasket

im going to set it at 15 for now since i don't want to push the stock fuel system any farther. But i will be upgrading the pump and regulator down the road.

good choice where to set boost. i run 15 right now and it works good. at 17lbs i noticed a decrease in power do to running lean. if you get a fuel pressure regulaor and run it at 42psi to 44psi, you can turn the boost up to 22-23lbs of boost.
