NO. It is just "JDM" brand name. Stay away from it...I mean, 470 for a 16g AND a tubular manifold?!? Are you kidding? Search here for ebay turbos and read up a bit

Its a hit or miss on ebay, a lot of people say when you go with ebay stuff go with non moving parts like exhaust, intakes, intercoolers etc and i will agree with that. You never know with this kind of stuff, you could put it on your car and drive around the block and have the compressor housing fall off or something or it could last you 30k miles at 20psi. People arent willing to take the risk of buying the ebay ones when they can buy a proven MHI for $539. Stick with the good stuff when it comes to turbos, your car will appreciate it. There isnt enough R&D in these ebay turbos for them to be worth buying. I heard somewhere that some parts in the turbo are glued together? Not sure though.

Or you could get this big 16g from from forced performance.

If they dont show you a pic of the wheel than its fake. Only the real ones will have a pic of the wheel and tell you why its real.

This turbo is as bad as it can get turbo lasted 500 miles , wastegate didnt open blew my engine up , and headers cracked, the bolts had wrong thread ALL bolts , the oil feed line is bad because it connects from the head not the oil filter(where fresh oil comes out) gaskets are cheap , and the bolts are i think 4.3 strenght if you know what i mean , for that kind of application you need hard either 9.0 or 10.0 , and they are not easy to get..... Only ok thing about this kit is the oil return line it looks nice , but the opening is smaller than the stock one. Guys please beware and remember you get what you pay for , and i paid for my new engine. Good luck saving money

Thank you so much for posting some good information on this turbo setup. I never like it when people shoot something down just because of cost alone, but this was a good review of a bad product.
