That's known as an 'Ebay Special'. Leave it alone.

They are shit. Be warned, there is no such thing as a good cheap turbo.

If your on a budget then buying an item twice because the first one was crap just doubles your spend.

Save up and just buy once.

I had bought one when they weren't yet imported in the uk. I got it for a cheaper price from the USA. If you want I can sell you mine for a cheaper price, it's the same and never used, still in box. But my opinion as an honest guy... it's a cheap turbo. It may be good for a diesel engine but not for a high-powered RST. If you're keeping it on low boost then it may be fine but if you plan to run high boost levels it's no good.

If you make any thought just send me a private message
