I’m sure it is probably same production facility that Honeywell uses. Brand new is38 for 950 shipped? Not bad.

With shipping $950 and dollar tree revision, no thanks.
What's the information you're using as the basis for that conclusion?

It does say "Turbo" in several places so it should be legit, no?

I'll wait until they offer a "Happy Hybrid", or go big with a "Lucky 550" option.

Easier to fill the casting with extra sand where it would say IHI than to grind it off later...

Yep, mold inserts are common and inexpensive.
