Get your money back ASAP!!!!!

Those are 'Mountain Stone' turbos, and people have had them fail within hours of using them.

A freind of mine bought a turbo kit for his imort. And the turbo seized the 3rd time starting it up. Also my other freind bought a turbo manifold and turbine outlet from them which the welds started to crack. and the turbine outlet cracked as well.

I got one for a project I'm working on for a guy, wastegate that is. It looks like a good piece. Castings look good and machine fits are good and seem to function properly, but haven't actualy tested it yet. I know there are severel guys on the turbo mustand board running them and have good things to say about them. I couldn't find any negitives on the wastgates, but the turbos were another story, lol. They are cheap Chines knock offs of MP turbos. Not good at all.

WHATEVER! Please post pics of it when it falls apart from going through the car wash, or impodes into itself, or whatever. The turbo that was epoxied together looked good in the pictures too, I'm sure!

All I can tell you is I got 2 of these turbos from SSAC and both of them went bad already

One has blown seals, 3 weeks runtime
Other has shaft play, 3-5 minutes run time, no hard spooling (Car was on jack stands, no boost hooked up to the throttle body)
