Reputable Chinese Turbo Sellers (oxymoron? lol)
Im in the process of designing my DIY turbo kit for my 2000 LS. After some research and some conversations with members on /r/miata I am considering trying a Chinese turbo to cut costs. I see a lot of mixed reviews and know that there are risks when going this rout. I am fully willing to accept these risks, if for nothing else but an interesting experiment.
Does anyone have recommendations for reputable sellers of these turbos? I am wanting to go with one of the SR20DET bolt on replacements (or equivalent) so if I do end up regretting going this rout, I can just swap out for a GT2560r. I have looked at Enjuku Racing with the ISR turbo (6 month warranty), CX Racing (no warranty), and GodSpeed (1 year warranty with professional installation).
Thanks in advance!

If you want to buy a piece of **** as cheap as possible, might as well just get it from aliexpress. But don't blame me when this one (or another chinacharger) blows up and takes the engine with it :-)

in the past week or so, TWO s14 gt2560r turbos sold for $350.
there is one for sale right now out of an s15 with the special gamma whatever something, for $550 OBO, so you might be able to negotiate it down somewhat.

I actually didn't think this thread was stupid until you mentioned buying a garrett from the 80's for a whopping 300 in savings.
This is one of the VERY LAST sites on the planet that refuses to blow smoke up your butt and make you feel good about bad decisions

My ONE suggestion is that IF you try one of these, make SURE it shares dimensions/patterns with a legit Garrett T25, so that when you get sick of this experiment, you don't have to re-design your high school science project to play with the adults.
