You'd be surprised with how poorly parts can come back from China, even when you keep your boot on their neck about specifications.

I'd try a Chinese turbo given the opportunity, but not on my OM603. On a high mileage engine, sure. I might put some type of screen between the turbo outlet and the intake to stop the large chunks. There are lots of people that have documented installing them and some blowing to bits within several hundred miles, and some lasting for a long time.
