Buy it and let us know! Honestly... there are certain things that I would put on my car that I feel comfortable with that are not 'name brand'. A turbo is not one of them though...

Stay away from that knockoff "fake Garrett China" crap. Those are the turbos that have "glued together" compressor housings. It's basically a big toy turbo. People on the other boards have gotten burned.

and theres no way that description is correct! 59lb/min from that compressor housing?!! hell no. my gt28r only pushes 31lb/min and the rs is only 33lb/min. 59 would mean its a freaking monster and it wouldnt fit in the stock location.

$869 + $129 shipping???? F.U.C.K. THAT!!!!! Jspec.com has em for $800 shipped. And you can find the GT28R's for $689 on ebay... which is essentially the same exact thing.
