Works as intended, easy install but time consuming. Additional parts will need to be replaced as well before replacing turbo, such as coolant and oil tubes. Great quality part.

I would have to agree with some of the other reviews. The waste gate is aftermarket and the spring or diaphragm that is inside of it is junk. I bought a gm wastgate and replaced that. All in all I would recommend this. If you keep the waste gate it comes with you will have low pressure.

My turbo has been down for quite a while. Purchased this one and my car runs as if it was off the showroom floor!! Assembly was a headache but it was expected. The quality of this turbo is excellent! It fit like a glove with zero leaks or issues! I’d purchase this again if I ever needed.

216This is much more robust and better quality than oemRunning great will update if I run into issues but I don’t see that happening.I’ve had 3 oem turbos fail. Go for it if your on the fence. Don’t forget to pre lobe it
