eBay JCW Turbo?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/K03-BMW-Mini...hUUuu7&vxp=mtr

I know a turbo is a part where it's generally you get what you pay for. But at $400 with a 60 day return policy and available 1 year warranty for $45 I'm seeing this as a better alternative to adjusting my wastegate linkage.

My stock S turbo is no longer liking a tune. Runs fine on stock map tho. So equal if not easier work + a bump in power at low risk possible?

Anyone have one of these Chinachargers yet?

Why you say it is a jcw turbo? He made the reference that this turbo can go on a jcw model , a 175hp model . . . He dont really saythat this turbo is the same size that a real jcw.

For the 1 year waranty. You have to know that if the turbo broke, it wil cost big money to send it back for a new one. It is alot cheaper to ship from China to america than america to China.

True. This one for slightly more seems to make more of an effort to say it's a JCW turbo.

I will ask both sellers what size the backhousing is to tell for sure.

Looks like this would be a safer and still affordable route. Borg Warner JCW turbo for $600
