Stay away from that first one. Any turbo that says something like XS Power, Turbo ZY, Turbo XY, Stone Mountain Racing, or SS Autochrome, stay away and dont buy it.

If I were you I wouldnt buy it either because their turbos are a dice roll , meaning that some are good and some just dont make it off of the operation table right. If you are looking for longetivity and reliability in a turbo charger with your horsepower goal in mind I would go with a turbonetics t3t4 57 trim or a garrett ,but not them that You just showed because first of all those are not ballbearing turbos for only 3 to 400 dollars!

if you want to spend less than 500, you better look for a used turbo. or maybe go with a t3 super 60 turbo.

I call bs on these...they are claiming Garrett BB CHRA, and for under $500 no way I would risk it.
