Chinese Turbos, Opinions?

[duffdef]

Hi all, I came across a brand new ct26 turbo on eBay the other day, £220 delivered, made and distributed in China.

Has anyone ever bought one or know someone who has?

My gut reaction was to avoid them, the only dealing i've had with a Chinese replica turbo was a mate who bought one 3 years ago, T35 but didn't come with a compressor map nor was one available from them. Unfortunately the car he put it in (305 gti6 conversion) has only done a few hours on it so still too young to test is reliability.

Cheers

Managed to find the listing again, eBay no. 150606346916.

Only just noticed its single entry. They also do a T70 for £190!
