If you buy a real turbo from ebay not the knockoffs. Knockoffs have a tendency of breaking. I know this for a fact. Friend went thru 6 or 7 ebay turbos. luckily he got them for free because they guy was willing to work with him and knew they were prone to break. If you're going to buy something, don't get a cheap version, you get what you paid for.

Yeah... I heard if you just get a good manifold and turbo all the other crap doesn't matter...
Thats why I'm glad they don't make cheap EBAY superchargers to tempt me.

Ebay turbo's own.. Buy a kit and then post a video of it after its isntalled. Make sure you run it at 20psi to warm it up
Ebay is fine for anything cosmetic. I wouldnt trust it on a 10k car though. maybe an eg/ef. Not worth it.
