i have a close friend whos used them and theyre ok and make power but they do not last long at all. if you buy a chinese turbo kit, just upgrade the turbo.

Sounds like its a on3 turbo kit? Both kits just need good turbos

if budget is in mind...Master Powers are usually just a few bucks more and are proven reliable.

Master Power T70 worked great for me into the 9s, but they are from Brazil, and there is only one company in the U.S. that can get parts for them and repair them.

I researched and found something interesting out.The problem with most Chinese turbos is that the seals blow out hella quick.Theres a trick,you have to run a restrictor on the oil inlet.Most people who do this say theyve had their Chinese turbos for years.Hmmmm.More research is warranted.(In the interest of being cheap,lol.)
