I ask why would someone buy one? A real turbo such as a holset or garrett can be had used in good condition for the same money and it's not garbage! I know a few people that have run them but after the kid replaced three turbos where is any saving? I would never run one but some people have had them last but it's not a chance i will take.

It seems that some of them live a year or so, others die instantly. Considering the fact that a blown turbo will contaminate the oil and intake system which could blow your engine, I'm not willing to take that risk.
