i've got a complete ebay kit on my car(turbo, wastegate, bov, intercooler, piping, oil feed EVERYTHING), just clocked 4k miles on it and making 300hp with this setup. everything is running great. i even have the ss ramhorn manifold and it hasn't cracked (yet).

4K miles is peanuts. That's barely a couple months driving. I wanna see 3,4,5, years with that stuff before I can count anything worth keeping

That's the turbo, which we have established is hit or miss. Again, I'm looking at the WHOLE MONKEY-MADE KIT for more than 4K miles

well from my experience ill never buy a brand name turbo again i rather buy 50 ebay turbos knowing that they wont last long .

warranty on name brand turbos is just a sales pitch they never end up rebuilding or replacing it cause its always the customers fault why the turbo died plus u have to pay for shipping again for them to send the dead turbo back to you.
im very bitter because of what happened to me with a precision pt67 turbo bought from usedturbos.net ,so all im saying is **** these guys and ebay turbos all the way atleast i know the ebay turbo wont last.

because
1) your post was ignorant and asinine
2) you waste bandwidth bringing things like this back up and 99% of current members wont read the thread start date and start posting a barrage of what I already have, thereby wasting even more bandwidth and time...

This has been beyond beaten up to death. We're glad he's keeping his BS turbochargers and his bitterness. It just makes the other unique individuals like this one look great.
