1.7" compressor inlet with a claimed .80 AR? That doesn't sound right. I've never seen a turbo with an inlet that small. They say it's only good for 275hp anyway. Plus generic turbos tend to have premature bearing and seal failures.
I think they make the journal bearings out of lead or something softer, like chinese playdough.

+1. I would piece one together and try and get all name brand pieces (Garrett, Tial, etc etc)
I love how the JDM term is thrown onto every single item's description in that auction. AWESOME... it comes with a JDM manual controller. hehe

I wouldn't buy that thing, because he obviously can't speak engrish right.
"NOTE: All of turbo parts and accessories do need to modification in order to fits perfectly. otherwise will list ABOVE."
that right there is a fail...

UPDATED!!
here is my question:
so if my car is 255hp stock and i add this turbo, will i come close to 400 - 500 hp? because i see everything is JDM, and since JDM is a good company, your turbo is really good right? so will i come close to 400 - 500 HP?
I would love to buy it if i can reach that.
because if i can get my hands on two turbo's that would be awesome!!

Here is his response:
Thank you for your message. The overall performance depends on the engine compatibility and tuning after the installation. What we can tell you is that if you do not have a turbo engine, and converting to one with a stock NA engine, the most you gain is roughly 40-50hp gain, but if you rebuild your engine, you may get more out of the turbo depending on the tunings.

Umm?

The seller is also saying if your engine is built you will get more out of the turbo, in other words a lower compression build.
