Yeah, my question was, if it is just water cooled. No oil cooling...

Its chinese crap, probably wont last long... who knows.. a lot of mixed experiences. But they are getting better.

And then getting it balanced, so that puts you where a good turbo would run in the first place.

I wouldn't trust any "ebay" part that has moving components, especially ones that spin at 100k rpm. If you want a cheap turbo get a Precision, got my 5857 for $800 NIB from a reputable place

Hell there are used t3 turbos that pop up all the time on here, on hondamarketplace, and so on. Buying a used quality turbo is better than buying a new knockoff turbo. Plain and simple.

An ASE master technician is just one who posses all of the ase classes of whatever style mechanic they are ( diesel, auto, etc).

I wouldnt think an engine repair ase would mean anything to them as turbos arent covered in this test. Probably the engine perf ase. Thats the test with all of your sensors, 5 gas analysis, volumetric efficiency, afr's and such are covered. I remember in my school books at the college i went to the turbo charger and supercharger chapter was only 2 pages long. Compared to most other chapters being 8-15 pages long. Haha very brief read through. Barely touched the surface on forced induction

sounds like an excuse to waste peoples time and still not warranty the part... they figure 9.5 out of 10 ricers wont pay or know a Master ASE and their car will be so jacked up that the turbo will be the least of their worries so theyll blame it on everything else...

Like others have said...Id rather buy used (proven/dependable)quality than new (cheap/copied) "product"

This warranty policy is in place for one reason. Would you warranty a turbo you sold if some dumbass didnt hook up the oil feed line? (example) There are alot of ppl in this world who install turbos on cars that i wouldnt trust changing my oil.
