OK, after a bit of searching I found this. Thought I would post it for anyone thinking of going the "cheap" route.

Granted he received excellent customer service but that does not justify the crap they sell.

I helped install an ebay 57trim . The turbo started to whine just free revving the car. Tryed to drive it but it would only get 2 lbs of boost. Major shaft play was found. Blades rubbing housing. Sent it back for a new one. The second one lasted a little longer. It didn't whine on free rev but started to whine while trying to drive the car 5 minutes later.

I think these china made turbos where made with no intention of actually using them.
