Default Wuxi Wunfa turbo

Has anybody had any experience with a wuxi wunfa TD05 turbo? I've seen an unused one very cheap, but I’m sceptical of the quality.


Any experience on these make of turbos would be much appreciated.

Thanks,,

I'm not quite sure what has to do with turbos - but I like it.

These turbos work particularly well when teamed with Chumbawamba headers. :/

On a more serious note. We will sooner or later have to accept China's massive industrial economy, and the rising quality of the products it's produces.
Chinese turbos aren't bad, they are just cheap, the problem we have is, if it's not got some brash name on it and price tag to match were not interested.
Sooner or later the price of all things china will increase, then there will be no problem using a Chinese turbo....
I've used several turbos both in performance upgrades and in replacement oem situations.
Yet to have a catastrophic failure, I've worn one out through use/abuse (over 12k miles) and I've melted the turbine wheel off one through excessive egt's, niether of which was the turbos fault. I've also destroyed a set of pistons due to a tuning issue, whilst running a Chinese turbo, again can't blame the turbo!
Kinugawa sugar coat a Chinese turbo and make it more socially acceptable to buy due to rebranding and price increase...
Having stripped a few of these turbos and rebuilt a couple, I can say the build quality is of a good standard, all components actually match garrett or mitsubishi in shape and size (totally interchangeable) it seems there are no copyright laws in china.
