Have a question, wondering if you guys know if those GodSpeed TDO5 18G turbos are any good for SR motors, are they good quality? reliable?

I wouldn't trust it at all. I think it would work, but for not long.

Ive seen some youtube videos of them putting down almost 300whp at 16psi. The shop that took the turbo to test it on redtop SR motor was giving it good reviews and saying he was surprised by the results.

Of course it will run and make power. The question is how reliable is it? Will it do it once? Twice? 3 years or 30 days?

I would trust it as much as any other "ebay" turbo.

Seeing as there's really no quality control on those things, it's really a hit or miss thing. And even if it's a hit, it's not gonna last forever.
