yup, i bought my 19T compressor housing from them. It arrived well packaged and quickly. Only complaint is that when installing it the housing wouldn't align with the exhaust housing correctly. We had to slightly drill out the guide hole. Maybe we got a fluke, or maybe we were just tired from working on my car and multiple others that day.
out of the box it arrived in, you can see the foam packaging below, it had the same amount above it as well.

nope, its been boosting strong for the past 5,000 miles or so. The CBV that was on it looked well made and sturdy, but I replaced it with a blank off plate. I only boost about 13psi since I'm a LPT and still trying to dial in my EBC. It spools great, no burnt oil, or cooling issues. I couldn't be happier spending $420 for a brand new 19T.

I bought a 19t as well, I thought for the money it was a solid alternative. Very well packaged, shipped fast, no issues with 5k miles of 18-20 psi boosting so far. Do it.
