BRoken shafts are very frequent on them, which is most of the times due to the heat shroud that typically crumbles away. I never saw a mitsu turbo with a turbine housing that is not cracked across the WG dump hole. Looking at the insides of a mitsubishi turbo, I don'T see anything wrong. And I know they can flow just as good as equivalent turbos from other brands. MAybe the reason why I rarely saw one last is because the most popular ones are the DSM ones and many people try to install these junkyard DSM turbos on engines that are too big for this turbo model.

You get REAL GARRETT housings but all the internals are CHINESE!!! You really need to know your stuff to tell the difference! These rebuilt turbos look real clean and are IMO very well assembled but they do fail the same as complete genuine XSP turbos so be carefull!!!
One way to find out: THe extremity of the turbine shaft is hexagonal on chinese turbines while it's triangular on garrett's.
