    The US guys seem to use them often without much fault. But I would rather spend the extra $$$ so it fits/ doesn't have to be swapped when it cracks

    Yes I have the ebay one for my 6, brilliance of it is that it is v band, you can use basically any turbo if you upgrade. It had a cat welded in when I bought it, never had a CEL and been running for over a year with no cracks/leaks. TBH its just as good as any other. I have it mated to a CPE catback, I had no issues with it lining up, just connect it at the turbo first then bolt it up to the exhaust. Just keep in mind the quote for installing if he hasn't done an MPS before some of them get a shock, it is not an easy task for a first time installer, for the 6 you need to remove the wipers, wiper motor etc, the long black cowl that runs across the back of the firewall so you can get the DP out the top, it will not fit out the bottom in the 6 and plenty of inox/wd40

    It comes out the bottom if you drop the tailshaft and remove the shaft flange.
