Is this turbo "Real" or "Fake"

[DSMaster08]

Some kid told me that this was a fake Ebay Evo3 16g any inputs? Thanks

Yea i thought as much i went and got a real mhi 16g but think that turbo may so be worth anything?

I went from a MHI small 16g to a turbochargers.com EVOIII GT and It felt better. Unfortunately I have no numbers for you like dyno pulls or logs but I used it for 2-3 years with no problems. I must have had one of their later models if Justin's right about what he said, and it's highly unlikely that he's wrong.

So lets get it out in the open is it a POS or is it better then the MHI 16g, i got the turbo for free so not a big deal to me.

Anything that is not an MHI is a POS IMO. It may work and it may not. The evo gt turbos are still chinese knock offs no madder where you bought it. Expecially turbochargers.com

Hey you could alsways just use it till it breaks n hope nothing gets ####ed up in the process. If u do try it and it last/works better you should def. keep us posted.

well i suppose that if you take the exhaust wheel and replace it with a real mhi exhaust wheel, it should not have any breaking issues...

True, the turbines are interchangeable- but nobody feels like putting $200 into a non-MHI turbo just to make it reliable.

The other issue is try talking someone into disassembling a turbo that is working perfectly as long as it is working in order to possibly make it more reliable....but once the turbine shaft breaks and ruins the center housing and compressor wheel, you're S.O.L.
