Lots of good information, I guess I never even thought about quality turbo units before.

WTF, who cars about the knock off, spend a little more money and buy the real thing. DSM's break a lot as it is, why help and install junk parts?

Well put!

Even MHI evo3 16g's are so cheap nowadays it's hard not to buy one to have around 'just in case'

Their prices are too high and you have plenty of sponsored vendors on this website which can do the same, if not better work than Slowboy. Plus I consider Huml to be an arrogant asshole but that's well beyond the context of this thread. If you want to further discuss it, PM me.
