They are crap turbos. They will most likly last you about a day if you are lucky. I've personally seen SSAC (SSAutoChrome) turbos:

Compressor wheel fly off after the nut cracked
Compressor housing split in half
Center section destroyed

People see a cheap deal and they jump on it. If it's too good to be true, it always is. I STRONLY urge you not to buy one of those turbos. It will worst case, destroy your motor, lucky if you just blow the turbo.
