Default Who is running a GT45 Turbo?

Just wondering what your opinion is, and how reliable it is?

Thanks.

You could have just searched GT45 and gotten everything you wanted and more.

I ran one for 2 years and, a few thousand miles at all different boost levels. I sold it to a guy last year who has it on a Silverado he drives daily. Turbo probably has 8-10k on it and no issues to date. I'd say it's pretty reliable for a $250 turbo that's capable of 130+ trap speeds in a 3600lb car.

I have had the exact same experience. I just swapped out my 69mm gt45 up to the 80mm gt45r. I'm saving the 69mm for a future project.
