I just made an offer on one of these.

I know, Ebay . BUT, some of these China turbos are holding up for guys on TTF.

It's a weird trim, works out to about a 55. Might be a tad laggier than the gold standard TO4E50/.63 stage 3 Garrett. Still, for $150 I am probably gonna put one on the shelf. I can't buy a stage 3 turbine housing for less than this.

Here's a Garrett spec sheet to compare wheels and trims.

Thats not bad at all for that price. Im putting it in my ranger. I still have to put the forged pistons in but I would like to get the turbo before I even think of pulling apart an engine
