If it looks likes a dog and smells like a dog, it's probably a dog.
 
It says its a 20g but looks more like a 14b. A 20g is a downfiring turbo not a side like the 13g, 14b, s16g, b16g, evo316g. They should at least try to advertise the thing right.

I've rebuilt one of those in the past...it's a legit 20G-spec compressor cut into an Evo III compressor housing. The Chinese figured out how to make Sleeper 16G / Bastard 20G's out of the same garbage turbos that failed as Evo III 16G's and it opened a whole new door for them. Pathetic.

Here's the one I rebuilt, which actually was a pretty reliable turbo for the owner. It only failed because of an oil line malfunction:

dont buy ebay garbage. right now my car is off the road bc i bought it with an evoIII 16g (ebay knockoff) nipple came off wastegate, and i have vaccuum leaks, and it has unlimited boost, the car right now is not even really driveable. Just bought an HX35 last night :)
 
yet ANOTHER ebay turbo question that has been answered many times.. there are many threads if you want more details...


but the general conclusion is it is a hit or miss, 50/50 chance they will last long. still too much of a gamble to really adopt.

the other ebay stuff for our cars are ok, but this is still a risk
 
i purchased one for a hatch with a b series swap in it before i got into dsms and mine gernaded at 20psi and it was broke in the way they said and everything sitting in the garage and when i drove it the first couple times it pulled great untill around 700 miles then it took a big shit:notgood:
