well put it this way... if your turbo says "turbocharger" on it... you've most likely got an eBay one :)

Yea, Im pretty sure that any respectable turbo production company kinda should assume you know what a turbocharger is... BUT im sure there was ONE person out there that was like "Ohh, so thats what this is"

Honestly, Id use it for a while. Untill I could find a proper turbo that is. Make sure it has no shaft play (in and out OR up and down) and slap that thing on there.

:tease: at the guy who found out what his turbocharger was!

I wondered why I couldn't find who the turbo came from on the housing..Most I see have Greddy or HKS on them....so what would be a good sized turbo to go with that can handle up to 300-400HP?

It's an eBay Chinese knockoff of a Hahn Super 20G. Check out results for the 20G if you want ideas on what airflow / HP this thing could make, but keep in mind there's a good chance you'll destroy this turbo if you push it.

Might last anywhere from 5 minutes to 50,000 miles....so it's pretty much like anything made by PTE. ROFL

Closer, but still not up to par. Mitsubishi never made the TD06-SL2 turbine, so this turbo contains some non-Genuine parts. It's also being discontinued by FP, so there's a chance you may not be able to buy things like turbine wheels in the coming years in case it were to fail.

Why not buy a MHI Evo III 16G? They're tough as nails and make more than enough airflow for 95% of DSMers.
