to anyone that has rebuilt a ebay turbo some questions
Ok I have a cx racing. 50 trim t3t4 turbo I over oiled it and its starting to go. Now I wanna know is there a garrett kit that's fits it good or should I just buy the ebay rebuild kit meant for it. Any help is greatly appreciated

doesn't matter what kit you use, if your turbo is loose as a goose because you didn't regrind the shaft and bearing housing or use over/undersized bearings in the reman, it won't last that long or make much power. Not to mention the fact that the turbo needs to be put on a balancer once it's back together...

At this point I'd ditch the eBay turbo and purchase a quality turbo. I've been happy with Precision. They make quality turbos and are affordable.
This is just an example.

Don't waste your time rebuilding it, they're only $90 for another one on eBay. I replace mine every 5K miles or so

I agree with the 2nd poster. Just ditch the turbo and move onto something else. Trust me, the one thing you don't want to go cheap on is the turbo..

Re: to anyone that has rebuilt a ebay turbo some questions
Yeah that gets old. I kept putting different JDM stock take-off turbos on my EVO just to see what they would do, and now turbo #4 is going south with only 40,000 on the odometer. At the beginning it was fun to see what the turbo off a A/T car would do, now I wish I would have just put a gt30 on there and left it alone.
