[quote=Force-Fed Performance;9042716]just a fyi but i would stay away from the journal bearing billet turbos. they are known to fail. Us and about 6-7 other friends we have that own/run shops were talking about it recently and all of us have been seeing them fail.
That is good to know. The 68hta is a journal bearing billet turbo also so I guess it might be best if I go the cheaper route of a evo 3 16g if they are failing a lot. I think putting a 1400 dollar turbo on my street car is out of my price range for now although I would like to. There is an article though on the Forced Performance website about how crappy all the modern oils have become causing a lot of the newer journal bearing turbos to fail. There fix it says is to use only a dedicated race oil.

this car was retuned by Aaron here https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...e5857-e85.html and made massive hp/tq.
then he switched to a 6266 and i retuned it. he was very happy with Aaron's tune.
on the 6266 the car trapped 111mph in the 1/8 on low boost once we were done. i do not know what he did afterwords with the car, but i know he started tuning it himself now since i taught him stuff as i was tuning it and set it up so the tune was user friendly. i wouldn't be surprised if it went 9's already. he doesn't really share on forum much.

but from what i can see the 5857 is a nice turbo. it packs a lot of punch.
was your engine because of rings or something? since you had to rebuild the bottom end. i would of figured HG or valve seals or something.

its a 9 second car no doubt with driver and high boost + non conservative tuning.
with the smaller pte i believe it trapped 106 in 1/8.
that vids of it on my tune with the 6266 on a semi conservative tune.
