hahahhahah

run as fast as you freaking can away from that entire company and for the most part stay away from ebay companies selling turbo JUNK!!! its all CRAP!!!!!

search this site to get all of your information about turbo
there are many useful threads here that can help you.

and try the classifieds and sponsors of this site to get all of your turbo stuff.....just remember

fast
reliable
cheap

you can only have two of these.........so chooose carefully

Not a must, but if it is rebuilt demand a warrantee against defect in worksmanship.

k well alot of people say that the xspower stuff is crap...but there not so bad....so what if one guy out of 1024245346364234234 of them sold had a big problem with it. I have one the same as the one u posted and have no problems with it whatsoever. FOR THE PRICE there #1. What u people should think of is not everyone has 700$ to buy a turbo with.
my 2 cents

You should have kept it and put it towards a real turbo.

I remeber seeing a pic of the compressor housing that just split in two. That was pretty sad. But there are some people that have no problems with these turbos. Just like there manifolds and there wastegates. Do you like to gamble? I do.
