I went back a few pages in this thread but I don't see where this conversation started. Did someone mount their battery some where inaccessible? Mine is in the trunk. Where would you mount your battery that you need remote terminals?

thanks buddy.. i know its a cheap kit.. was thinking if i get all pipework ceramic coated and only want to runs low boost as i have a jdm k20a engine high compression.. should be ok.. if the turbo gives up i can replace that no problem. i heard its best to restrict the oil lines.. so turbo last a bit longer... you experts should know.

Thought mainly Garrett turbo needed restricting. But heard some come with built in restrictors now. I would not be restricting the eBay turbo though as its most likely journal bearing.

Gotta be careful with that though, when a turbo blows you don't know what particulates go where, and you may risk the motor in some cases. BW Turbos are cheap, reliable, and have a 1-year warranty from BW so that's not a bad option if you're on a budget.

Some JBs still may need a restrictor, just depends on the turbo. My old PTE 6766 JB needed a .06 Restrictor :-(

Wth these high revving K-series motor, high pressure oil is what tends to blow those JB turbos apart. So, many times they need a restrictor even on JBs. IIRC, my GT3076R needed a .035 restrictor, which makes sense because it's BB

Tial is your typical choice. Percision, turbosmart ect all work well. Synapse as well. And I would never call it safe but I'd worry about the amount of power you make at a given boost pressure and don't go too high. I ran 18psi on my stock z1. It ran well. And lasted a while.

i bought the Cheap CXRacing Kit, before anything gonna change the Wastegate, turbo internals, and ceramic coat manifold and downpipe..
may even run the turbo as it is.. till it dies.. then just replace it with a Proper one..
gonna run it around 11psi and see how how it holds up..
