I was just looking about on ebay and came across this seller and he seems to have a few apparently genuine Mitsubishi turbos. I'm still not sure if they are for real and was just wondering what people on here think. If so they seem to not be too bad a price.
Starion TC05-12A

The TC05 and EvoIII 16G turbo look like new old stock items, just wondering about that 20G turbo though as I'm sure there's no factory 20G powered cars, just trucks etc which usually have a different bolt flange.

did that 12a have a mhit on it factory? I've never seen one like that. My stock flatty tc05 12a doesnt have that as far as I know. I should go double check though.
im guessing mhit mitsu heavy industries turbo? which doesnt seem like something mitsu would use.
Then again who in their right fucking mind would make a chinese 12a. I cant see any profit in it lol.

Of course Mitsubishi Motors use Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) turbos. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is the turbo manufacturer in the Mitsubishi Group of companies.
