ANGER! lol

A lot of people on Ls1 tech seem to like them as well. I Suppose the earlier ones had problems, but they have since revised it and the new ones are exceptional.

A lot of dealers sell quality parts on ebay simply because there's good business in it. Every turbo is going to get a bad reputation from someone, bad news travels faster than good. Whether you should buy one, I'd say go for it. Almost all turbo failures aren't from the turbo themselves; they're from poor maintenance or poor installation/parts used with the kit. You have to keep in mind that almost every person that own a turbo car doesn't take care of it properly & want to blame the turbo company or the kit company when it fails & some company's try to replace it to keep from a bad reputation even if it's not their products fault. I personally wouldn't run them because of other options specifically design, but I'd be more than confident installing one one someones car.

As for one of those are they the most durable? No. Will they outlast your engine if properly taken care of? Yes.
