Neither did I just ordered a .96ar. They only have a few more in stock. Then they gotta order another batch. I'm glad to see Chinese turbos making power and holding up.

ive heard good things about these turbos many friends have ran for 3+ seasons on different platforms. unless you get a bad one out of the box, you should be good for a while

Sorry for the
, carry on. ps, Im glad people are having good results with these things, Im all for hitting your goal and saving money but there are also people having bad results too and bad turbos can take out good engines quickly.

I got 2 of the on3 70mm turbos with .82 AR turbine housing going on my 5.3 this winter. I have to say the turbos look quite nice!
As for the Chinese/American thing...most of the Garret, Borg and I am sure others are made out of the country and MAYBE assembled here. I am sure you could probably find foreign made parts in just about any turbo.

True! You will be hard pressed to find anything made in the USA. Ive been driving trucks for 20yrs, and it make me sick to see all the plants that made anything close! Most of the turbo's, intercoolers ect.... Are purchased off shore, and the price is jacked up, then they rape Us! LSxmalibu you give me hope! Im done with my car it drive's great! Just need the cash for bigger injt, and a tune. Can you tell me what timing you run, and what octain?

I have had nothing but very good results with my Chinese knock offs' except
for the one time a spark plug came apart and took one out. I guess the plug maker (NGK) was to blame for that one, but $250.00 later I had another one at my door. It is totally Ironic that I couldn't afford to buy the "American" set of turbos because of our bad economy and low cash flow, resorting to me buying the foreign made product taking money right back out of our own system.
