Ever seen what a turbine wheel looks like when cast from china? Compare it to a turbine wheel from Garrett, IHI/Mitsubish, Precision, Borg Warner, etc...
2. Because you're not very budget minded when you need to rebuild a motor and replace a turbo after you've blown it.
3. The ONLY "eBay" kit I would buy to repair a turbo if not an OEM kit, would be a KAMAK. Oh, that's Korean though, and not chinese/Taiwanese.
while i TOTALLY agree........ this makes things more interesting
1 year warranty (must be installed by certified mechanic)
i would like to know the full stipulations on this..............
