Default ebay gt35 power potential?

Ok check this out, there is this turbo i am going to experiement with on ebay. Here are the specs given on the advert,
Intake :4 inch
Outlet: 2.5 inch
Compressor trim: .70 ar
Compressor Wheel diameter: 66.36 /81.87
Turbine wheel diameter : 64.50 /73.60
Exhaust trim: .82 ar
Turbine flange type: t3 flange
Downpipe flange type : 4 bolt downpipe flange

Are these specs anywhere close to one would call a gt35? Does anyone think that this might be able to push out some serios power?

they dont cover it im sure, but they dont want some noob doing something stupid and they have to pay for it. i used the cx racing turbo and it held up fine on 18 psi beating on daily for 15k miles. im sure if the turbo was not primed or ran with out the right restrictor it will blow up even on 8psi

i think that "chinese garbage" reputation was picked up years ago when they where garbage, but in the last few years has anyone seen anything glued together on a eaby turbo? no. so many people are having "luck" with them these days. u can buy 4 godspeed 35r's for the price of one garret lol.i dont see 1 garret out lasting 4. specially if u can get it replaced for free if it did go in a year.

Dunno what crack you are smoking but if you think replacing four units when you could have gotten one from the start and had it done with is okay be my guest.

A copy can be pretty ****ing close but it will not be the same as the original. Lets not forget the fact that they are cheaper I understand there is a markup on turbos and ebay turbos but the difference has to come from somewhere..
