beware of those cheap junk chinese turbos...

they like to explode if you work them too hard,

and then they send shrapnel into your engine. yummy!

anyway, those turbos are super cheap on ebay for a reason.

it may not explode, you may get lucky.

just beware that it is quite possible with these super cheap turbos.

i would just spend the bones and get a used garrett and rebuild it.
