I've not fitted one, I've fitted several.
The term should be Chinese turbo, not eBay.
Absolutely no problems at all.
Just examine the spec, inducer/exducer size as some are not fully what they are advertised as.
I had a TD05 20g on my last impreza £180 delivered brand new, it was more comparable to an 18g on spec, 360hp turbo.

As a foot note, most branded turbos are now made in china. The quality really has improved over the past few years.
I've used three t34 type turbos, two T28's and that 20g I mentioned. No obvious problems at all.

its mapped to 1.3 bar but im bored now its my daily driver so want more mid range not top end punch and no more than the engine can handle

i will also need new injectors are pinks ok??

I would move on from the TD04 in my opinion, 16g or the small "20g" with 7cm exhaust housing makes a good road car

I've got a Kinugawa TD04 20T, made 314bhp mapped by Bob Rawle, with supporting mods of course.

Bob did say I could have had better results and similar spool with a VF35.
