Is this turbo for real?
Alright, I've decided to do a sigle turbo setup on my stock LS1. Its a custom application and I will be building the setup myself. I was looking at turbos and found THIS. Is it a knock-off? Has anyone had any experience with a "JDM" turbo?
Also, would it be alright if I ran long tube headers on a rear mount turbo setup? Pros/Cons? Thanks

Yes copy indeed and remember the GT45 is only ~ a 68mm turbo.
