Howdy folks, first post here but long time reader. I ran a search on the turbo section of the tech forum to no avail. I had stumbled across these turbos on eBay by rev9. They are 72-68. Comp: 72/102 (inducer/Exducer) respectively. Turbine: (68/79). They are some what similar to the SXE borgs we all know and love. Currently have a cast 475 for a 4.8 LS. I would like to in the future move to a 5.3 based engine. I am remote mounting the turbos in the bed of an s10. I know the twins I cited will be massive on a 4.8 regardless of fuel choice. Rev9 does sell smaller offerings, and these would work well on a 5.3 on ethanol or methanol I think. Every dollar counts in my build at the moment as I am in university. Any advice is welcome, thank you.

stay clear of them..not a good china turbo an a lot learned the hard way when they blew up on the sloppy group yrs ago. get the billet 7665s,7875s or the s366 borg clones. they are the proven to be good china boys.
I ran those exact units from Rev9. They made horrible power per pound. A set of gt3582's blew them away. It was almost like the housings didn't fit the wheels. Large gaps around compressor and exh wheels. I ran the T3 flange units and the housings were HUGE. Dario with the twin turbo pinto ran them as well and had the same issue.
