You know it doesn't look terrible. it could be alright i guess. but i would say it's right in with all the other chinese knock off crap. you get what you pay for honey.

it is tempting though to get ball bearing turbo for 390.

hey honey,
i whouldnt mess around with a chinaballer. even a factory bb turbo is very iffy used.
for that amount of money you could get a rebuilt garrett turbo from blaast performance with a warranty

I did find this it's a little smaller but i would trust it more then the other new one you were looking at. If it doesn't get bid up I may grab it myself.

I like all the "sexy" talk ;)

For real though my little noglets in china are improving there turbo skills. For the price of the knockoff though I would suggest going else where. If you do run it make sure you report back to me asap and let me know how my peeps did. I have to fill out a quality assurance report pretty soon. ::)
