Re: EBAY TURBO must see the damage
Turbo - no explaination needed
Intercooler - 200 degree intake temps
Piping - Thin wall, sometimes not bead-rolled, and hoses are cheap non-reinforced rubber
BOV/Wastegate - Diaphragm is cheap rubber (non-reinforced) which blow out, valve/seat are cheap material which causes leaks
Fuel management (bwhahahah)
Maybe the oil feed/return are good? Then again, all of the above being true, why would I risk it???

Re: EBAY TURBO must see the damage
Though the first fast the the furious also had an S it was not as prominent and not PINK. Wish that would have been the first and last time they showed an S in that series.

Re: EBAY TURBO must see the damage
ouch! i was thinking about using a ebay turbo and intercooler kit except using a good turbo, manifold, downpipe and wastegate. I guess thats not going to happen.

Re: EBAY TURBO must see the damage
Ouch! The irony. A local approached me about doing an ebay turbo kit. I told him some of it might be ok, but get rid of the turbo ASAP. I mean, I carry Bullseye for the cheapest prices they let the public have, so there's no logical reason for him to put that crappy turbo on such a nice car.
Anyone see the ebay turbo that the compressor actually was glued together and fell apart as soon as there was any heat? That's the quality you can expect from ebay.
Garrett, Precision, Holset, and Borg Warner are really the only turbos I recommend. Lots of people distribute them in different flavors, but going other directions is asking for problems.
(Shameless plug...) If you want something that won't fall apart, check out my prices on BEP. www.aspturbo.com/store
