Stay far far away.... Get a properly built turbo from a known source!

My first T3 that I had on my car I cheaped out on it and it didn't last a summer... What does Glen say all the time "buy once, cry once....."

I am not saying anything other than the net is FULL of that crap and you should be VERY careful.

And if THIS is what you are looking to put on your fire breathing monster you are building, you are WAY off in left feild.
