as with all the ebay turbos, you're taking a risk buying one. some people have used them with good results, but there is a greater number of people who have had terrible results from them

"**** is good!"

I'd personally hold out on buying an OBX turbo until I hear more feedback. I mean it's not like Turbonetics doesn't outsource to China, so it's not the country of origin that's the issue.

Gosh, did this question actually get asked. How about those SPA turbos from Brazil. Anyone has any luck with those?

there's nothing wrong with buying a garrett turbo off of ebay.

There is something wrong with buying a turbo from a company who almost exclusively sells on ebay.
