*by B***E on April 30, 2015*

Seems to be burning some oil almost immediately after install. Not heavy, but some oil is being blown past the shaft seal and into the intake. Fresh oil feed line was installed so it's not an oil restriction problem.This is an OK option for a car you need to fix on the cheap, but if you plan to keep it then a higher quality unit may be worth the price.

*by N***K on May 17, 2015*

Turbo would not push boost well and ceased up after a week or two of use, had it professionally installed and now sending back to see if they grant warranty to me after one weeks use. Also they make me pay shipping on an object weighing in or around 30 lbs. Sorely disappointed I also bought "Godspeed" K04 and it's the same exact turbo from a different vendor more expensive price. Do not buy this turbo if you expect to use it longer than a few days.

### ⭐⭐ No proper gaskets or mounting studs for instalation!
*by I***N on April 4, 2015*

Did not come with any gaskets, or studs. Had to improvise and ended up blowing my gasket that sits between the Manifold and Turbo!:( Now I have to order one and pay for something that should've came with it and take it all apart again...
