ftw=For The Win.

OBX doesn't make jack ****, it's a brand / company name, not a manufacture. Its all out sourced to China or whomever the lowest bidder is. The OBX turbo's are the same thing as those China made eBay turbo's.

Most have had good results with the MasterPower turbo's.

I've been using Master Power turbo's for almost 6 years now. No problems here!

OBX turbos are garbage, last time I checked they were glued-together nightmares that barely made it past the initial start-up and idle. Stay away......
