Works for auto if you do tc lock up

yes then it does. To me its not worth the possible oil leak. when the plunger goes out, the oil pours out of it.

Are YOU actually putting on the new compressor? Because if you are, I hope you have the tools and bench to balance the shaft

It probably works better on an auto, because the auto's on these automatically engine-brake when you let off the throttle.. no down-shifting via the gear selector necessary.

ya but isnt it easy to float a valve or something along those lines with an auto?

Only if rpm isn't high enough.

No, just dont lock up your tc below 30mph or something like that...

balance the shaft? i had a extra one i was messin with at work and i just used a 5/8 socket and it came right off. threw it back on and it seemed to work just fine. i am thinking about buying the rebuild kit too doesnt look that hard. those turbos are pretty simple. and i dont need it as a engine brake. and yes mine does leak oil and im tired of the noise it makes haha frustrating thanks for the info guys
