Default D-62 Turbo any good?

Anyone have experience with the "Diesel Power Source" brand D-62 turbo? I'm considering one for my 03. Heard it's based on the Switzer 300S, but have also heard it's assembled from Chinese parts. Price is good and they claim good things. Just wondering if anyone has tried one.

I would recommend staying away from those turbos I have heard horror stories of those turbos blowing up and taking out engines. They are built in china and poorly and put together. Save alot of headache and buy a Industrial Injections Phat shaft 62 that will run forever

We have several customers with DTech turbos with no issues. There customer support is lacking therefore I would recommend II, BD or HTT.

Hmmm Im lookin at gettin one this summer.

I was lookin at the D-tech because it was only $1150, my other option was gettin a custom S300, probably either a 62/65/12 or 62/68/12. Money is the issue, because I want to try to get as much done this coming summer as I can.

Ah I need a new acoustic guitar too
