Default hows this turbo?

just curious if you guys think this would work well on a stock block gs-R, i know the .50 a/r compressor is kinda small, but its a 57 trim and it is a t3/to4e thats brand new with a warrenty for $350! thats a damn good price for a brand new unit...

It says its Garrett "spec", which means it's not really a Garrett... you can also tell that it isn't a real one because the turbine housing has a seam down the middle, meaning it wasn't cast as 1 piece (which real Garrett turbos are). It's hard to say what this turbo really is, and I'm not sure how much good a 6 month warrenty is going to do since all problems probably won't show during this time frame.

i would say in 6 months you'll blow your stock bottom end before you blow the turbo
