Yup, pretty much is, just gotta get the rocker covers painted, get some adjustable cam gears, oil catch can and braided lines and the manifolds made up. What I can think of off the top of my head at the moment!

Timing done and covers on

these are china bay turbos. i will strongly suggest that you buy 4 t3 bearings(2each) and replace the ones in the turbos. it very simple, it shouldnt take more than 10-15 per turbo. And yes, the china bay "mitsubishi" turbos use t3 shafts, and thats why you need t3 bearings

China bay? These are made and manufactured by Scarles performance...

yes these are china bay turbos. the company you posted just distributes them, it says in the link.

china bay turbo tdh05h



real mhi tdo5h



you can see the compressor housing with genuine mitsubishi serial number, where the fake one says "turbocharger" and other fake stuff.

Either way, i used one of these fake ones with replaced journal bearings (t3) for over 2 years w/o any problems.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Umm...it isn't stamped with turbocharger either...

Im not here to argue turbos,but just cuase its a ebay td05 dont make it a bad turbo.. Ive had 2 friends of mine buy the same turbo from ebay and these turbos lasted for years..Both guys running over 20 psi and both guys drive there cars frequently.. I know you had her best interest in mind MKO!! Just giving my own personal experience with the ebay td05 turbo.. Do your thing Jasmine :)

[Jasmine]

I didn't purchase off Ebay either, even if I did, shipping would've been pricey and buying from a shop get a warranty! I wanted to buy from a shop for that reason and was recommended these turbos by a couple of people.

I won't be posting anymore updates to this build on here. For those that are there, you can keep an eye on my build at GT.

Thanks for my time here, but I'm done :)
