Stay far far away from it! There are plenty of videos of people with EBay turbo kits on YouTube, turbos usually end up blowing up. If your wanting a turbo kit, trick turbo probably has the best kit out there

You should Google those cheap Chinese turbos like the GT45 before you say that...

I would think the piping would be very thin and prone to cracks.

I guess I should say that the couple I've seen have blown up. One was on a 4.3L S10 other was on a 4.8L sierra. Both trucks were beat pretty hard and that was probably 10 or so years ago... Seems they are hit or miss.Maybe they have gotten better in the last 10 years but I personally would not run one on my truck.

I think for a daily driver I would run from a Chinese turbo but it'd be fine for a toy.

You just need to take the turbos to a turbo or diesel repair shop and have the bearings replaced in the turbos to a ceramic bearing that can withstand the heat better than the cheap bearings that are in them now
