I've been running this turbo for about 2 1/2 years now with no problems. No excessive shaft play, and the blades look almost brand new. The Evo III GT is the same dimension and spec as the MHI made EVO 16G (big 16g), but it's already ported and comes with a 35mm big flapper to reduce boost creep. Don't be fooled by people that say the GT is in the same category as all the China-bay turbos. This turbo was good enough for RRE to sell during it's run, and a LOT of people have had great success with it. Here is an article with details/specs and testing:

I also had RRE port the compressor outlet on this turbo for more flow. I'll throw in the punishment J pipe for a FMIC if you want it. I had a bung with a barb welded to it for a boost source for your MBC. I also had it powder coated, but there's a chip and some light scratches.
