It would run it but only clean nicely with the right soiling. It'll be fine with a turbo

Neilsen is chinese and if it's like the neisen I saw then the pump won't even be what it says, it's like if you buy a pair of chinese ugg boots and they say 'real leather', you know very well they're not, they just put it, same with the chinese pumps, they say 3600 psi when they're no where near
put a pressure gauge on with the right jet if you don't believe me
