[Vwdiesel] MK1 - N/A - can it handle a turbo?

[Andrew .Libby]

I have bought plenty of items made in China and been happy with them.  I
have nothing personally against China (aside from incorporating slave labor
and aggressively conquering peace loving countries like Tibet, etc.)  and
nothing against parts being made in China.  The fact still remains that
China as a manufacturing entity does not care about quality and leaves it up
to the purchasing entity.  If the purchasing entity does not enforce strict
quality control from the Chinese manufacturing, then the items produced will
be very low quality.  If you have not experienced low quality items from
China then you are not on planet Earth.  Because quality control is up to
the purchaser, if the purchaser is a no-name knock-off seller, then they
tend to not care what the quality of the product is as they have no
reputation associated with their name to take care of.  Perhaps I should
have highlighted that there have been many horror stories specifically with
regard to THE PARTS FROM THAT SITE.  There are folks who have had
specifically turbos FROM THAT SITE self-destruct and gotten no recompense
from the seller.  Enough??  Do a little research before assuming I'm a pea
brained hater of the Chinese...
