I've been on my aux fueled 2867r/2 for around 4 or 5 years and more than 60k miles including several road trips >5000 miles. No big issues so far, just don't beat on it.
Owner reviews for turbocharger
Besides changing spark plugs more often, nothing really different than stock unless you're beating the ever living p out of it. Have had a 2867r gen 2 installed for a 3 or 4 years now. Only put about 20k miles on it because I drive my mustang when there's no salty roads.
I've had DSMs ranging from NA to 600hp, and honestly, I enjoyed the 16g setup the best
I'd rate it just under OEM. They're perfectly fine, just make sure you follow the oil priming procedure.
I have this turbo on my 2014 Ckra Passat. No joke it can run a sub 5 second 0-60. I guarantee I could run a 4.9, not saying that’s insane but for a 240hp diesel Passat, it’s beating a lot of cars that make more power. It’s a torque thing, I think this gtc1556vz can push 400 torque maximum. Which I have all the mods other than having stock cp4 and stock injectors. Injectors aren’t needed for upgrade at this power level, but I could definitely use the hpfp cp3 conversion. But even without the cp3 conversion, this setup is definitely insane for what it is.
Had a gt28rs on a d16z6. Made 205 on 8 psi and started spooling very early. Torque was very linear. Never got a chance to turn it up before one of the main bearings lunched itself.
RIKNE TURBINA
I have this turbo but t4 twin scroll with bigger AR. It is too small on my half Bridgeport 6 port turbo fc.
Mine blew up same miles but with a custom tune.
On my 2023 M240i, I noticed a metallic rattle when idle, followed by huge power loss and a loud whining sound. BMW confirmed the turbo is dead. It is being fully replaced under warranty. They found play in the turbine, cause unknown. The turbo itself cost $6,700, with total repair at $10.7k including labor and parts like coolant lines and a new wastegate actuator.
