    Ebay GT45 turbo.

    Anyone run this turbo? Couple videos of some m50s on yt but thats about it. Picked it up for $100 locally. Was planning on getting the .70 ar version with the billet wheels and ball bearings or a 6266 or a hx40.

    I know its on the large side but if i can swap the housing itll be a good deal if can use it. here it is in my car.

    Yes. Lots of guys use them on LS engines and they are pretty much the worst spooling turbo you can buy. On an LS they spool worse than an S475 which is a huge truck turbo.
