The absolute cheapest Intake Manifold I could find online, want some thoughts on it if anyone has tried or even seen it before.

The design helped me choose to go with Wagner for the current time, and if it disappoints I will jump over to EOS. But for my current power goals I think it can accomplish considering my climate as well.

From the logs I have seen, EOS basically same same as Wagner.

I run a business that uses quite a lot of Chinese suppliers. Well, which business doesn’t these days.

I would just put it this way, you get exactly what you pay for with the Chinese, if it’s way cheaper than other Chinese suppliers there’s a reason behind it.

the competition in China is insane, and so what you pay is really what you get 99% of the time. Not some bullshit margin that was tacked on just because.

Unless I had no choice, I would rather just go with the most expensive Chinese part, versus the Australian/american part, you save the middleman’s cut.

when I was considering a turbo, I was very close to getting a g35-1050 from Taobao (Chinese based AliExpress), though I think would have probably end up with a remnant 65. (I choose not to modify the car, as I don’t have access to ethanol).

5 years ago, I would never consider a Chinese turbo. Today China is the largest supplier of cars in the world, and the Chinese cars I see in my country is amazing and damn reliable .

just get the most expensive Chinese part and you’ll probably be fine.

Hmmm, I didn’t know the difference was that slim. Then there might not be as much point in jumping to EOS as I thought.

Having said that, verus does some really good r&d and I’d buy from them, mainly because you can’t get equivalent quality ones from China.

No doubt Chinese parts are good as I know competition is very hot. At the same time I did choose the absolute cheapest part so quality would have been subpar.

From past experience I've always thought that the Chinese stuff was a bit like this. Do you think they also get a contract to make a part and then produce extra for selling themselves? I always wondered about that.
