2876r questions
So there is a guy local selling his 2876r really cheap. Im already turbod on a begi chinacharger and was considering this as an upgrade. However im on a stock block right now. The future holds a built block but until then.... is this turbo pointless to ****** before hand? But my lil churbo with a broken fin and china journal bearings probably spools just as slow as the garrett. What do you all think?
1.8 cast hks mani, divided 2.25/1.5 downpipe to 3inch, hard pipe intercooler piping 2in hot side 2.5 cold. 565cc injectors, megasquirt etcetc.
Opinions?

What are the specs on the Begi churbo? What is the ex A/R on the 2876? The 2876 with an 86 ex on a 1.6 is going to push way out to the right.
edit, looks like you have a 1.8, so not as bad
edit again, you will most likely be like 3rd or 4th island to the left with a 76 compressor (48trim), so that is not great.

Compressor:
.42 A/R
37.8 Inducer
59.7 Exducer
40 Trim
Turbine:
.86 A/R
52.9 Inducer
45.47 Exducer
73 Trim
This is the 2876
Turbine
-Wheel: 53.9mm w/ 76 trim
-Housing: .86 ar
Compressor
-Wheel: 76mm w/ 48 trim
-Housing: .70 ar
Thats what I've read assuming my block likes me. I'll probably be getting a dyno tune a few checks from now if nothing breaks so I'd like to get my turbo situation sorted before hand.

Well, I guess I would consider the price point. The hardware is superior, but there are better options even from a churbo standpoint that might result in better performance and thus satisfaction. $300 on a mismatched good turbo doesn't necessarily provide better results that $300 on a cheap well suited turbo.

Although it might be a weird turbo size, I plan on building more power down the line.
Here's some spool data although on a vvt head, it's really not all that bad. This is with a .64 housing though.

It is, and I'll be honest, I'm scared for the reliability of the turbo I have now. It leaks the slightest amount of oil, but the big problem is it's missing 1/3 of a blade. This just seems like a good route to get out from under this turbo. I've been hoping a 2560 would pop up but no luck and no money for a 500+$ turbo right now. Between school and bills I'm sitting on a 400$ budget to be honest. And would rather not go sr20 turbo as I'm already beating my friends at the same boost level with this **** churbo (probably my mad tuning skills). Are there any //decent// china turbos? I've heard good things about twistedmotion and others like isr and they seem to have ok budget turbos. But I don't want to go from unreliable to unreliable either.
tl:dr: Maybe its worth it going from unreliable/mismatched to reliable/mismatched?
Edit: looking at it, your little turbo gif is a 2876 isn't it?

sounds like you just want us to tell you what you wanna hear. in that case, I'd probably go with the mismatched garrett over a different chinacharger because they're all gonna suck in t2 config
What "good" have you heard about those chinachargers? that they're better than the begi chinacharger? well, a diarrheal turd is better than the begi chinacharger
BEGi sucked so bad that they changed their name. they're called MaxG now. Hopefully the suck a little less with their new name

Are we talking like 500+rpm difference? Seeing as I have a less flowing head as well. Were talking like 4200 max boost starting around 3000? Yeah that's kinda garbage if that's the case. This is also a daily driver, with 0 track time. All I do is the occasional roll racing which sometimes favors a bigger turbo.
