JMD turbo kit?

What do you guys think about this? Is it good quality? I dont plan on turboing mine but ive always wondered wether these performance parts are good or not.

Says nothing about the hotside..... Looks like a good waste of money. If your looking for a good LS1 kit look at some of the FI threads on LS1tech.com, If LT1 you just can't beat RealQuick(LT1boost.net)!

that turbo is way too small for a 346cu inch ls1 IMO, let alone some of the ebay turbos are glued together. I'd stay away from it.

A good rule of thumb is to avoid ebay when it comes to turbo stuff. This turbo is far too small, even as a pair would be pretty small. That kit is missing the hardest and possibly most expensive part, the hotside.

That being said their are plenty of people out there that have run ebay turbos for at least some period of time. There only exists one post with evidence of a compressor housing being glued together, and many have argued that it looks like it was cut.
