It's all chinese. the tag on the turbo that just says Turbocharger is a give away

Notice they refer to the bov as GREDDY TYPE-RS STYLE, not an actual Greddy Type-RS, just the same style

Used turbo, dsm bov, cheap ext wg or int wg, and homemade boost controller can be had for less than the price opf the chinese stuff

he gets his money back on shipping also.
if u do want to try the chinese turbos, I would suggest getting the wheels balanced by a turbo shop.
if not, just do it. what's there to lose? ::)

I got my intercooler from this guy, the wastegate is the same type SSautoshit uses, its their premium knock off and there is nothing wrong with that, it looks and feels very solid and from what I heard it does the job well.

I wouldnt know much about a cheap turbo like that though.

Quicksilvia has many thousand miles on his and he says there is still no shaft play, maybe they are getting better?

Yeah, the 7 year olds are finally learning how to build a proper turbo...

I don't think I wopuld trust one. Keep in mind that blaast charges twice the normal cost for a knock off turbo rebuild. im sure there is a reason for that
