    Does it make exhaust? Cuz last time I checked that was about the only thing required to spin a turbine...

    I wonder if water-cooled turbine housings exist for anything resembling a performance turbo. I've only seen/noticed them for marine Holsets and maybe Borg-Warners.

    Does anyone here know anything regarding quality of the chinesium x-beam rods (and/or forged pistons) for 2/3RZs from Hench? They seem to be the only low-cost option for 3RZs at all. MaxSpeedingRods only has 135mm rods for 2RZs. Eagle has been around for ages, but also only has 2RZ parts. Is there a bigger market for 2RZs or something?

    Dunno.
    My friend has a set of Arias forged pistons for sale. 8.5 to 1. I believe .020" over if you are interested.
