TD05 help

[GSR94T]

hey guys

ill get straight to the point and leave all the unnecessary stuff behind

basically i am going to buy a TD05 big16G.
i want a new and unmodified one only

now i want to do this right. When i went to meek, he has told me he can supply one for about $900 or so. its a fair bit cheaper than the website but probably because i spend a fair bit there.

I wont be installing it, he will be so thats extra $ to think about as well.

Is the above turbo an aftermarket replacement identical to the evo 3 turbo, or would you say these are directly from mitsubishi?

i have found a few on ebay though such as this which are about half the price:

are these the same as what meek sells? or are these cheap imitations which will fk up??

also i know there has been heaps of write ups on chinese copies, but the link above looked decent - please comment as i need as much good info as possible

"TURBOCHARGER" on the lil tag on the compressor housing = chinese copy

go with Meek

I would never buy anything performance off ebay

and anything super cheap like that is asking for trouble

cheap = no good

I would rather pay a bit more for knowing it's quality

you get what u pay for

you should know that by now

you can get cheaper GENUINE ones from extremepsi and the like in the US
