Default Is this a good turbo?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...20405

Is this a good turbo as far as quality goes? It will be going on a stock b16, with a basic setup, tuned with hondata eventually. Shooting for 250 HP @ 10 PSI or close to it. Any comments on this turbo though?

Bump. I bet no one is replying to my thread because I worded the title like a moron. Here is a pic of the turbo, just to get more views.

Its not by ssautochrome. I agree with the to them. A friend of mine got their manifold and it cracked with a month.

So its a good turbo then. I was just afraid that since it looks like kind of a cheesy ad, that the turbo was junk.

i'd beware of the ebay sellers. i bought one and it was just painted and everything else was 20years old. it still smelt like paint when i recieved it......did it work...don't know, but i just didn't want to take the chance..... maybe for a couple more hundred miles....but i just got rid of it....BRAND NEW? i'd question that since there is no reserve....and if it is a turbonetics.....uhm doesn't those go for $1000.... 300 for that...i'd say just be abit more patient and go with cheapturbo.com if your really impatient...or hit up Arturbo aka Art and get yourself something from the SC lineup and get yourself a turbo that your 100% sure is brand new....
