That's actually pretty good. IIRC the compressor inducer is about 51mm, with a good sized ~70mmm exducer, so about the size of a smaller TO4B compressor and the turbine wheel is T31 sized as well. They're older technology, but the internals are pretty sturdy. Just a giant IHI VJ11 pretty much. They have the dual piston ring thrust collar, and bolted down 360 degree thrust bearing too. Not to mention the shaft is shorter/thicker than a T3 and should hold up much better. Also, the backplate is part of the bearing housing itself, so you won't get leaks there like you commonly do with a Garrett. Really not a bad alternative at all to a small T3/T4. $100 for that level of performance has got to be one of the best deals going in turbos right now.

Well you're going to go out of business if you actually honor warranties on $200 Chinese turbocharger units. My guess is that's what you say so you can move them out the door, but when the buyer's turbo fails almost instantly; he'll end up having to run through so much red tape to get the warranty honored (like only if installed by a professional and ----) that he'll just say, "---- it" and buy a Garrett like he should have done the first time.

I have sold a ton of turbos, only one has failed and I got the customer his money back in less than a week after it was received by my supplier.

CDM turbos are a lot different than they used to be. I personally made 310whp @15psi on a D with one. I drive the car daily

I've got a purchase pending for a turbo Scottl.

If it falls through, I'll talk to you. Regardless I will have to talk to you in the coming weeks about some couplers and maybe an IC.
