as for the boost controller. I am pretty sure there isnt one for the MS. I know that there is a boost spike protection with a fuel cut, but I dont think theres a boost controller. where would you run the line from the wastegte???

they're no name brand turbos

which usually means the quality is crap crap crap

sure they look pretty, but looks and performance aren't one in the same

search HKS wastegate and you'll get hundreds of results and they all say "HKS style" because they're not actual HKS products their copies...

this is a copy of a garrett turbo made by some other company. I wouldn't trust it IMO

a turbo isn't something you want to skimp on

Baad Idea! These are cheaply made copies probably made in China and the machining tolerances are not closely held to specs. ths thing could grenade and your motor could swallow a bunch of shrapnel. If it seems to good to be true it probably is.Cmon you guys know that you have to pay for quality. go ahead and buy it if you really enjoy working on your car more than you like driving it and have lots of extra cash to spend on motors.

DO NOT buy a no name brand turbo from Ebay, did Brian ever tell you about the 2 I bought and both of the seals blew immediately in them?

Yeah, not a good idea, save up and go for a good turbo, because youll def. regret it if you dont.

Look up the Turbo manufacturers website and contact them about a retailer in your area .That way you are assured you are buying genuine product..

Those boost controllers are COPIES of well known ones just like the POS turbos. Both are a waste of money.

They're most definitely Chinese knockoff turbochargers. The only person I trust on eBay to make a turbocharger purchase with is the eBay member down2turbo. Message him asking for whatever you want and he'll get it. He NEVER deals with crap turbochargers.

to comment about the HKS stuff, I bet HKS style on ebay would be better, lol, I bought a SSQV, what a POS, worked one day, then stopped, I removed inspected, put back together then it worked another day.... now I finally shortened the spring about 1/2" and wow, what a difference, it blows off now, no boost leaks, and is fully adjustable.... ënd rant" sorry I was just super pissed that c-clip is hell to get out.

those look strangely like the XSpower turbos that end up splitting the compressor housing down the middle....
