I've heard of more horror stories about SSautochrome then you could possibly imagine. Like they say...if its too good to be true, it probably is.

Yea, turbos are a real bad thing to skimp on. People are pretty dishonest and will sell x turbo and tell you are geting y turbo. I know on guy who got some behind the back hookup deals on a turbo and it took a dump 100miles latter. He hadn't even took it to the dyno or anything rough yet.
