Anyone heard of or tried this turbo from ATTA/JM Turbo?

I am in need of a new stock frame turbo and came along this turbo. It is a Evo 9 replica. All of the companies other turbos have decent reviews and I was just curious if anyone has tried/heard of/has this turbo. It is highly affordable for a 9 replacement.

Let's hope cheap and reliable is what it turns out to be. 400hp is plenty fast for me for now and should be easy to hit with my build on corn.

Anyone else heard anything?

it might be cheap and reliable if you keep the boost to 20psi. I would rather run a reliable stock 8 turbo at 25psi.

For $459, why not give it a try. Would be interesting to see how the hotside compares to the MHI. If it craps out on you down the road, could maybe use it as the base for a 71hta chra http://www.forcedperformance.net/mer...Category_Code=

For E85 or other fuel I dont recommend any after market turbo .
If you planing just run under 24 psi i dont see any problems
I know someone with the same turbo for a bit over 6 months no issue
on his evo 8 pushing 320whp on 21 psi If you running a 8 dont forgot to buy a set piping and gasket
