get evo16g from sbr and you'll be happy .... there is no difference between those two
 
I am pretty sure it is the knock off. But to be sure just call RRE. I have dealt with them many times before. They are good people and will tell you the truth.

It's made in Taiwan. I'm not gonna say something good or bad about this turbo, but I respect RRE enough to know they won't sell you some b.s. parts. There are many other sites selling the evo3 gt 16g now too.

I was thinking the same thing.
When did RRE start selling crap?
They won't even sell the fidanza aluminum flywheels anymore because the company jack up the prices on them, and they don't feel it's worth that much.

I can't see RRE selling anything as bad as the GT we like to trash so much... call them and let us know what you find out.

Fidanza is doing some goofy stuff with their pricing that will make these be way too expensive for what they are. Until they decide if they want people to buy these, we will only be selling what we have in stock at the prices listed below. We apologize for any inconvenience. In the mean time, the steel flywheels we have are an excellent value.
EVO III GT Turbo
These are not made by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Same dimension and spec as the
MHI made EVO 16G. Already ported and comes with a 35mm big flapper. Comes
with a 12 months/12,000 miles unconditional warranty. Sorry we don't offer clipping
on EVO III GT turbo.

If it is, it's got the warranty....
 
If you feel confident enough to buy the GT turbo just remember all the Warning's that you read and all the guys that know what they are talking about saying to run like hell. My .02 is buy the MHI 16g and don't worry about what might happen, because everyone knows that its a good turbo. If you plan on making any nice power with the turbo that 35mm flapper is going to give you fits with holding boost.

The real EVO III Big 16g made by MHI is an awesome turbo, and I can say that from experience. The GT has hardly any feedback and I haven't seen anyone make any good power with it or run any impressive times. Thats beside the fact that no one has put that many miles on one yet. If it fails down the road and you have to pull everything back appart even if the honor they warranty it would still be a huge hassle.

Good Luck

I agree, it's just strange that rre would be selling it...
 
I will post just how good or bad the turbochargers.com big 16g evo 3 GT is when I install mine sometime next week. It flows 570 cfm, comes with a 34 mm flapper, after reading about the crafting of the turbo on the turbochargers.com website I decided to take the chance and buy one. I got mine brand new on ebay for $480 shipped. I know this turbo has been flamed a lot, but I suggest people check out turbochargers.com website and read about it before you decide to call it chinese crap. It is made in taiwan, I will keep you guys posted on just how good the turbo is.
 
The reason i started this thread was because i had baughten the EVO 3 GT from a guy that bought it from RRE. I havn't got a chance to use it yet because my car is still out of commision. The only reason i got the turbo was because it was $200. I just wanted to know if later down the roud i.e. " next week " if i was going to have to replace it.

Personally, I take everything that turbochargers.com says with a grain of salt.
