Re: JUST GOT THIS OFF EBAY (lowryder227)
think you should've done a little more research before buying that combo. Like when they say a price is too good to be true, well thats it. $400 bux for those three items aint gonna cut it.
The manifold will most likely break. The turbo will most likely leak oil, then break. The wastegate is very unreliable, and if it break before the other stuff does, that could screw you real good.

Re: JUST GOT THIS OFF EBAY (PrecisionH23a)
the wastegates arent that bad. ive been running one for a while and it holds boost perfectly. the turbos are 50/50 there are plenty of people running the newer turbos without problems. the manifolds..well those break more times than not but i have experience with one and it never cracked.
if your looking for somehting that you never have to worry about failing then you bought the wrong kit. but then again it may work for you.

Re: JUST GOT THIS OFF EBAY (JDM_EM1)
Those tial replicas arent bad...they are identical to the real tials inside and out
but the best thing is ,if you want to get rid of the stuff, you can put it back on ebay and get the $400 right back..

Dude, lay off the rock...
Just cuz a turbo is "from ebay" doesnt mean its the same ssauto/xspower/whatever crapola brand this guy's got. They do actually sell name brand stuff on ebay now and then
