The Evo3 GT made by GT concepts and sold by Turbochargers.com is a great turbo. The early models were poor, but the model I got over a year ago was after all of that. They are now great products.
Some people cant get over what they were. Go look on the fourms and youll find people with many miles on them without issue.
BTW, they are larger than a MHI Evo3 16G (ported basically). Larger flapper like you said too.
Also, a large majority of housings are manufactured in China, FP, Bloush, I think even MHI. Its the cartrages and assembly that matter.
On the GT concepts Evo 3 16G I had there was NO CREEP. Thats at 18psi running straight piped right off the turbo. That was when I only ran a ball-and-spring boost controller as well. Trust me, internal will be fine.
Thats the GT concepts Evo 3 16g for reference

GT Concepts is the name they use for their turbos. They are manufactured by BBL Automotive. The particular one you had is one of there's and the better knockoff. There is more than one company knocking these things off though. Those are the only ones that say EVO3 GT on the housing. Other companies have tried to knock them off and still have td05 on the housing. I wouldn't mess with those. MHI will have td05 and MHI part number
They aren't ported. They are just cast with a wider nozzle

Thats why I didnt say ported, I used ported to describe how it was different. Its the size of ported but just cast that way.
I didnt know there were anyother becides GT Concepts, that could be part of the issue DSM guys were having.
