atleast I must aplaud you for wanting more then a simple no and wondering why.

One of the major issues is they use junk turbines with questionable at best weighting and balance.

Not to mention the fact that the compressor housings are usually glued together.

I've seen too many inadvertent cross-sections of e-bay turbos to ever buy one.

good thing i asked first about it i was already thinking of getting one

You can use e-bay to collect parts for a DIY turbo kit if you're up for the challenge. But you could also opt to get a full kit from a name brand supplier and then upgrade parts as you see fit.

It's way better then buying a kit not knowing.

Because you'll pick your kit better or you can make your own kit

I award you a gold star for your actions.

eBay is not a store. You find crap and quality stuff all mixed in.
Stick with name brands (turbonetics, garrett, tial, spearco, etc) and stay away from just about anything that says ssautochrome.
You CAN find quality turbo kits on eBay, just expect to pay 2 to 3 times more compared to the cheap chinese made turbo kits.
