So, I bought My first Z about 2 months ago and it came with a "new" NA motor and a set of new turbos with the turbo plenums. My plan originally was to rebuild the engine and turbo it. However, after I tore the engine down, I discovered that the turbos I got are $150 knock off t25s. I decided I didn't want to risk using those, but I don't have the budget to add a set of legit turbos, so I was just going to keep it NA. Then I went and ordered a rebuild kit for the engine, but when I got it, I realized I accidentally ordered the turbo pistons... Awesome.
So, my dilemma now is. Do I just send it and rock the sketchy amazon turbos or just return them and stay NA. What do y'all think?

Not off a Z hence why I thought I'd post here.
It's off a 92 peugeot 205 1.8 diesel.
Done some research online and the consensus seems to be that the best way to test a coolant sensor is to measure the resistance with a multimeter.
Video of soime chap doing it here:
From what I can make out, I should be testing the resistance across the two pins on the back of the sensor.
When I took the sensor out the car and did this I got no result, zip. Aha I thought it's bust! Bought a new one but that does the same :blink:
After poking around a bit I found I can get a measurement if I touch one of the pins and the brass casing.
Does this sound right or are both my sensors bust?
When my multimeter leads are not in contact with anything they show the same as the top pic e.g. '1'
