No fancy marking or identifiers anywhere though. It utilises an Aluminium cast compressor housing.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the GT2871R, it utilises a billet machined seal plate that mates to the compressor housing. This was attached with some sort of hard glue. However, since this turbo is a journal bearing core, I was hoping for the O-ring style seal plate. That allows for easy adjustment and a proper seal, I don&#8217;t trust the machined seal plates from personal experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.maxpeedingrods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/qqovBp9-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"MaXpeedingRods GT2871 Turbocharger compressor housing\" class=\"wp-image-2320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/qqovBp9-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/qqovBp9-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/qqovBp9-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/qqovBp9-1392x1856.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/qqovBp9-1068x1424.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/qqovBp9-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/qqovBp9-630x840.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/qqovBp9-1920x2559.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/qqovBp9-1320x1760.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Turbine housing looked to be great, very nice machining and clean casting. However, the wastegate port under the actuator flapper is absolutely TINY in comparison to the flapper! This will certainly cause boost creep issues.<\/p>\n<p>I would advise to port this if you plan to run this turbo.<\/p>\n<p>Mounting hardware &amp; brackets are all of high quality, arguably on par in quality with the OE brand-name ones.<\/p>\n<p>It looks to be balanced due to the markings on the turbine wheel, compressor wheel and compressor nut. This indicates that the parts have both been individually balanced and then the whole CHRA balanced on a VSR machine.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.maxpeedingrods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/zORGukS-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"MaXpeedingRods GT2871 Turbocharger Turbine Housing\" class=\"wp-image-2319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/zORGukS-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/zORGukS-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/zORGukS-696x928.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/zORGukS-1392x1856.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/zORGukS-1068x1424.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/zORGukS-315x420.jpg 315w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/zORGukS-630x840.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/zORGukS-1920x2561.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/zORGukS-1320x1760.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"balance\"><strong>Balance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Since I have access to a VSR balancing machine, I decided to stick the core on. Usually a big killer of these turbos seems to be a lack of balance. However, since this unit looks to have been balanced I&#8217;m really hoping that it doesn&#8217;t shoot off the charts in the VSR.<\/p>\n<p>Surprisingly the unit was very well balanced. It &#8220;passed&#8221; on our Turbo Technics VSR and kept below the maximum amount of vibration up until 70.000rpm. Due to this turbo having such a large compressor wheel, 70.000rpm is sufficient in this test. However, as rotational speed increased so did the vibration of the unit during testing so it may be slightly over the acceptable amount at a given rpm such as 100.000.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.maxpeedingrods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WZtpOb6-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Balance test on MaXpeedingRods GT2871 Turbocharger\" class=\"wp-image-2316\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WZtpOb6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WZtpOb6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WZtpOb6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WZtpOb6-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WZtpOb6-1068x600.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WZtpOb6-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WZtpOb6-1320x742.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/WZtpOb6.jpg 1334w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.maxpeedingrods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/XQ49jlS-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Balance test on MaXpeedingRods GT2871 Turbocharger\" class=\"wp-image-2317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/XQ49jlS-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/XQ49jlS-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/XQ49jlS-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/XQ49jlS-696x391.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/XQ49jlS-1068x600.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/XQ49jlS-747x420.jpg 747w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/XQ49jlS-1320x742.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.maxpeedingrods.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/XQ49jlS.jpg 1334w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"parts-quality\"><strong>Parts &amp; Quality<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Now I&#8217;ve had the unit on the VSR, I got to disassembling it and this is what I found:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Compressor Wheel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Single plane balanced.
