Some people seem to have good luck with them.
* * * * * * 92 Mx3 ZET, rear/front swaybars,srd crossmember,HKS SSQV,cold air,ZE with millinia mani and TB and 280cc injectors,INtrax springs with tokiko HP struts, Grounding kit, MotegiTrakLite wheels 17's at 14lbs each, MSnS Running fuel and spark,HEI mod,T3/To4E .60/.63 stage 3 turbine,3rd gen rx7 fuel pump, SSAC Headers/hotpipes ,38 ext tial wastegate, findanza flywheel, SBC TZ clutch/pressureplate,braille11pound battery/ magnum drilled F/R rotors,projectors, CXmotorsports almuminum intercooler.
I have one but i won't be running it on my car until i get a built 2.5 swapped in, even though the engine will be built i still won't go over maybe 10 lbs of boost . Otherwise it seems like a solid turbo.

I took it to a shop and was adviced they do work.. however they are made of the cheapest materials you can find. The bearing isnt that good. it wont hold over 10 psi. I heard they do make power but well you get what you pay for.

Try lookin for the Garret t3/t4 knock off turbo, it seems to work fine and can handle boost, and is decent quality, my bro runs on on his civic and has not had a problem with it, and hes at 11psi with it.

tell you what guys when i was working at the shop
we bought one of these turbo's and
yeah
that turbo at 18psi was one one that made a 12.8@110 back in 12-06. I had it my mx-3 for a 1-2 months untill i replaced it with a 57 trim turbo.. which on that other turbo i made a 12.4@118.
so yeah that cheap turbo held up for about 2 months at 18 psi (remember not 24/7) and it was on a daily basis..
we just wanted to know if it was any good.. its ok but i didn't trust it and thats why i change it out..
some other guy got it from me and we its still alive. @15psi..
maybe that turbo was just lucky some how..

If it's coming from China, be careful, it may contain lead.
