My advice for what its worth. Be careful buying anything that looks to cheap. I think this kind of stuff gets copied so be sure to buy from a reputable seller.

eBay seems to be full of stuff that looks like a bargain but as said above there are loads of cheap copies on there.
I wasn't prepared to get caught out with a cheap copy so bought my Turbosmart FPR800 from Autodynamix as a cheap copy could cost you a engine.

I bought a Tilton bias valve from eBay which was nice and cheap but turned out to be crappy copy and leaked out the adjuster valve when trying to bleed the brakes so ended up buying another one from a online shop at the normal price.

They say buy cheap buy twice and I can confirm that what happened so be very careful.

I got one of those cheap shittie ones
on a pinto turbo
it came with fittings and pipe

the best bit in the kit was the reg “
nothing wrong with it what so ever
that said I think I changed the spring
but it works real good

the fittings
well they were so so so so so bad
( I did need want or need them anyway)
I through them straight in the bin

but even taking that into account
it was still very cheap and still works very well
