the price looks good but it is a pretty big turbo, you must have some very big plans. not sure that id trust an ebay turbo but from what iv heard its kinda hit and mis with those. so if you got 500 to toss up in the air than by all means go for it.

I was never a fan of Precision.. all the honda boys swear by them.. but I've always condsidered them overpriced for what they really are.. I digress..
Yes this turbo is a knock-off.. however that doesn't mean it can't make any power. If I had a project car to mess with, I would buy this and test it.

It's a knockoff. THe real ones are worth every penny. They are about $1300 not counting options. You can always tell if real one as they have an allied signal silver tag on the center cartridge with the GARRETT part number. It also says made in Japan as Garret manufactures ball bearing cartridges ONLY in Japan. If you're trying to find a deal on a GT35R good luck. Not gonna happen. That being said it's what I'm running and it seriously kicks ___. I have the HTA option with the ported shroud cover and the Tial SS hot side housing. It was far more than $1300. Here are pics of a real one:
