Iv dealt with this kit on several occasions down here in in Texas. First, the turbo is not a "chinese" turbo. I have spoken with Aaron over at driftmotion on several occasions and he explained to me that the turbo housing may be generic but the internal are indeed Garrett parts. The DM67 kits is actually quite nice, i just wish it came with a larger AR backhousing. Now the wastegate on the otherhand is complete knockoff and although i havnt heard of too many problems with it, i personally would swap it out for a better counterpart; i.e. Tial 44mm, Hks 60mm, etc. The last thing you want is a gate that cannot hold boost, spikes, gets stuck/open, vice versa. The manifold is an ebay knockoff but DM does go through the manifold to inspect for slag/crack, etc. Other than that, the kit is actually quite nice. Dont know why people dog on it. Just because its not a dual gated full race manifold doesnt mean the product is actual crap. Im thankful for decent quality products out there for a decent affordable price.

good to know, i will look further into this then. i would change out the wastegate, what about the blow-off valve? and would i just get a fmic kit also? what about tuning? i already have an emanage, just keep it and use that?
