Yeah. it's sad but all chinese turbos are real junk.
I won't start to list down all the reason why they fail so quickly but believe me, they will.
they have been out there for years. I mean.... they could have trouble shot the ------- thing to make it better but they never did. THey keep pumping out that crap, covered with a fake warranty and when they do fail, the seller, if he still exists, tells you that you got for your money's worth and to sit on it....

earlier, the pic showed that it was a turbonetics housing. well, assuming that was the turbonetics logo which it did look like it

thanks for the heads up everyone...
and for all the forum junkies who like to flame.
GROW UP.
This post is to also let other New turbo kids know what to really stay away from...no matter How good of a deal it is!

yeh ... i know it sounds dumb. But, advice is advice. And others are reading these forums too...and could use the advice.
Also, no need to comment like that. Why bash people?
To tell you the truth, I am also keeping an eye out on t3 garretts. I just decided to pick one up since i got it for $140 shipped. May as well give it a shot.

i think id rather buy a rebuilt or reconditioned authentic garrett turbo. ive seen them for just a bit more than the china turbos.
i know a few guys who have had success with ching chong slanty eyed turbos. but you just cant ignore their reputation.
