Kind of pricey for a throw away turbo

"Warranty is only valid if turbo is installed by certified mechanic"

About to tune my car on the eBay gt45, I will probably try this t88(76mm) after I run the current one for a bit.

Yes, but sometimes you get lucky and get more than you pay for and I have seen lots of success stories with the "Chinese" turbos and not many failure threads.....

Every week I see a post about a failed "name" brand turbo, but have yet to see a post about a cheap chinese one! There is a thread on theturboforums from 2007 and the topic is a 250 dollar turbo....and not one has failed.

I personally went with the on3 cause of the vband down pipe,but if it does ever fail ill give the gt45 a go. But ill probly lift a head before I blow this turbo. Builds 18psi fast on a rearmount. Pretty happy with my $300 investment
