Can't vouch for those turbo's specifically but I've watched plenty of YouTube videos where people buy the cheap Chinese "Ebay" turbos & turbo kits and then put them through the ringer. Most of them hold up to a good amount of abuse. A few I have seen were on turbo Honda's making well over 500 WHP. They were also used as their daily drivers. My personal opinion is to go with something with a known good track record. A sub-par turbo is one of the last things I would ever want to install on my car. I feel your chances are higher of having something fail in a turbo from a company that probably has a much lower standard when it comes to QC as opposed to a reputable turbo company. Just my .02

I hear you, F diesel is the manufacturer http://www.f-diesel.com/Default.aspx

They are an oem supplier to several auto manufacturers. Having spent quite a bit of time in china I can tell you that many roads lead right back there for these components. The quality systems are rapidly approaching and surpassing western standards in many cases. I think I'm going to give them a try. I've 2 extra engines laying around im going to rebuild this winter so if they grenade my engine I suppose I'll see if my rebuilds are any good:)

I'm not sure why you would do this. You should be able to pick up an OEM Ford turbo for about the same price from Tasca.
