Off Brand Turbos...

ive been searching through ebay and mostly everything i find are these off brand turbos. Brands like XS Power. Most of them will say garrett internals? are these turbos you can trust or no? It seems to be a little odd. But then again im not sure that when you buy a brand name turbo (Garrett, Turbonetics) that you could be just paying for the name and logo. so... ya just wondering your all's opinion of on.

heres a link to one of the weird ones... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T3-T4...QQcmdZViewItem

Don't get those XS turbos. There is a picture floating around of the compressor section of one coming apart because it was glued on. Search on a site like www.dsmtuners.com, there will be tons of posts regarding the quality, or lack of, of these turbos.

Actually, there are several threads now going on showing no issues with some of the off brand turbos. This thread, for example, has two people using them without issues:
