A bit laggy, dont expect anything before 4000rpm, i had one but with an external gate setup, and worked, but if i had my time over i would buy a Garrett.

I'm just putting one on my 3l at the moment, no reason it won't work fine.

Lots of people on here will tell you to buy brand name japanese only - because its not their money being spent. Or they have to much of the stuff, or something. Its a simple oil cooled, bush bearing turbo, exactly what nissan was putting on these cars when they built them 15 years ago. The new garret or whoever turbos do spool up quicker and the water cooling is better but they are also 2x-4x the price.

Only think to be careful of with the 480 is that the internal wastegate is too small. EIther run it with an external wastegate, or open up the internal gate and put a new wastegate flap on it. If not you will get boost creep up high, especially if you are trying to run lower boost like 15psi.
