I tell people constantly its not ebay itself because their are people on ebay who do sell the original ish but ss is not on of them I bought a wastegate and intercooler from them and it works flawlessly. the turbos from ss is a whole nother story though, I have a friend who bought a turbo kit from them for his accord with a h22 swap and that thing havent had a problem yet except for a little shaft play but you will get that in even the best turbo if you know any better ecspecially the size turbo he was running with, because I have a authentic precision sc61 and I had the same problem so what that tell you , and no I didnt buy it from ebay.

Yeah for real.

And each one of these threads that comes up breeds like 3 or 4 new mindless ebay turbo part haters.

thats weird though I have always heard good about the T70 from the rotary people that have used them. They must have teenagers building the T70 and children under 13 building the rest.

you know what everyone here has plenty of stories. I have a t3 kit from xs power and it is doing just fine. its been more than a year now and works fine. im boosting 8 psi and the only thing i found that was shitty was the manifold. but with most tubular manifolds you should expect some kind of cracking eventually. So i changed to drag. But other than that no problems. My cousin has one in his teggy and no problems either. Maybe if your thinking about really racing out your car, go with something better. But for me being daily driver. It works just fine.
but that's just me. Other people have different opinions.

yeh but you have to admit the more expensive kits with brand name parts are better off even those these EBAY kits work just fine I think I would spend the extra grand or 2 with known reliability.... But like I said I build my own stuff and that was when i was in the VW scene now that im in the honda scene im going all motor and NO spray..... but this civic is now deemed for styling then maybe a lil booooster kit but until then

Oh no doubt that the sponsors(most of them) are superior products, but for people to say that the ebay kits are junk without any presonal experince is foolish.
