My setup. Turbo lasted 70kms. Lesson learned!
Who hasn't heard someone say Don't buy Chinese turbos? Well i didn't believe them... take a look
This is my first car. I started building it when i was 17, I'm 18 now.
I finally got this car to be almost finished, still need some little things here and there.
As you can see from the pictures 2 of the fins on the compressor wheel are broken.
What happened is the nut holding the wheel on came off, i noticed the car wasn't making any boost and i couldn't hear the turbo spool anymore, so i took of the air filter and found the nut loose inside of it!
Tuning laptop/willem burner (its a ps9 ecu if anyone was wondering)
I think i spent about $2800-3200 Canadian, including the engine.
Setup;
Stock GSR head
Stock b18a block
dsm 450's
walbro 255
Turboedit, 1 wire vtec
it goes on, but thats the basics
Update* My new turbo came today!
Just to compare old vs. new. China vs Garrett
Old wheel
This is the inside of the old compressor housing close up.
I ordered precision 780cc/min injectors today, so now I don't have to worry about maxing the 450's out.
Progress is slow, there has been a high of -26 for like the last 2 weeks...

that sucks i think i have that same turbo on my b20 vtec setup. because mine has the m12 stamp on it also and when i bought it they gave me the whole it has garret internals and is a good turbo -runaround-. but anyways i havent had any problems so far. i had this turbo for a little over 4 years now pushin 9psi and making 342hp on my stock b20 bottom. but sorry to hear that 
i guess i just got one of those lucky 1 in 1million turbos made from the china man

Sorry bout the carnage. i bet that oil line loves that wastegate.I just pulled the turbo off, the inside of the compressor housing is pretty messed up, wheel is garbage obviously, and there is definitely shaft play now lol.
