    OE(BW) will always be better than a Chinese built aftermarket turbo, if you're just looking for a stock replacement.

    after my Bal.Shaft failing. I upgraded my connecting rods and replaced my main bearings ect... I didn't want anything else going wrong so i really try to replace everything new instead of used. my turbo was also super clapped out . It had a huge crack coming out the waste gate. So I thought buying a 350 Chinese turbo was a great idea lol (better than a broken one right?) But now I have a spare OEM and was thinking if it would make a difference or not switching back to oem ?

    You upgraded your rods for an OEM turbo?

    Prob a "while in there" thing, just in case..
    Nothing wrong with that. Now it'll handle more if need be.
