Is that a joke ?
I hope so....

The turbos fall apart within a small time span.

I have seen them fail out of the box or within 2,000 miles of use.

You get what you pay for in the end.

Mine works, but it's got some nice blow by from the seals crapping out. That's probably because I didn't have an oil restrictor in it for the from the beginning. It also doesn't mate up to my downpipe very well either, but that might be the d/p flange being all fugly and warped. I didn't have big bucks for all fancy new stuff so I went with what works for now. Even if it dies, buying a second egay turbo would still be cheaper than buying a $1k "brand name" unit.

That being said, I'd love to be able to get a nice turbo, but if I get that, then I might as well get a nice manifold, and new downpipe as well. It's all $.
