I've had this turbo on the car for something less than 18k miles (probably close to 15k actually), it was installed 12/17/11. Now that I'm rebuilding my engine I'm considering moving up to a 68HTA. Turbo is in great condition, still on the car and running well. It's been fed plenty of filtered oil via Infamous Performance and Tuning's oil line since new. Love this turbo! Perfect daily driving turbo. Fun at the track too, I ran a best ET of 13.098s in the 1/4 mile. Turbo is off the car and has zero shaft play, should be good to go for many more miles. I'll get more pics tonight. Looking for $600 shipped.
what's the method for routing air into a top mount? i'm seriously considering picking up a new one. adapter flange of sorts for the outlet?
Well they bolt right up to a 05-09 LGT/08+ WRX top mount. Give Bryan a call and talk about your options - I wouldn't be surprised if he's got something for ya.
