an off-brand ebay turbo will fail. Not a matter of if, but when.

A copy intake is one thing, but those copy turbos don't have the engineering behind them, nor the quality materials to build a turbo that won't eventually tear itself apart.

if you do the math and multiply a high speed turbo which can be up to 200,000 rpm and then do the math to find out that mph when the turbine itself hits the ground running it ends up being hundreds of miles per hour....scary.
