Default Rev9 Turbo Quality

First off, I want to say that quality and China in the same sentence for auto parts is laughable. However, I've heard SOME good things about the turbos out there (e.g. CXRacing).

Rev9 is one I have heard on this forum and others across the web, but I haven't heard of any real reviews on their turbos in LS swaps and boosted conversions.

Should I even consider buying a turbo from these guys?

I have a TT 5.3 with Rev9 turbos, but I've never fired it. Waiting on dyno time.

Most people here use On3 or VS Racing for their cheap turbos.

Mine leaked oil out of the compressor just about from day one. This was taken after the season was over, about 4000 street miles and 50+ passes. I had two of the 72/68's on a 4.8, car went 8s.
