a lot of people sh*t talk the chinese turbos on ebay but i have always had good luck with them. that turbo is pretty small tho, i run two of them on my motor. not sure how well one would work on your v6. probably spool up quick but run out of steam in higher rpms

You know the quote, "You get what you pay for." This may apply here as some chinese turbos can be hit or miss

Also are you prepared to make a custom mount and flange to accept the turbo?

Why would you want to risk your engine with something like that??

Save your cash and buy a tried and true brand thats designed and tested specifically for your motor by "actual mechanics". Not a couple goofballs in a rented garage selling garbage on ebay.

Why did you spend a load of money on exhaust only to want a turbo....which means redoing your exhaust?

Instead, a SMART choice is to have a real set up made for your car by a shop (or builder) who is familiar with the 4.0L SOHC for you.

Getting that crap when you aren't too sure of your mechanical skill is going to bite you in the end.
