Two Turbos one From local shop the other from EBAY! "Little Story"
My Friend has always tried to talk to me into buying stuff from ebay, and well i Don't really like the idea of doing that because of the stories I have heard of so we are trying to get a turbo for my lude an a upgrade for his eclipse, I knew of a guy that rebuilds turbos in my city we decided to give him a visit he told us that he used garret internal for the rebuilding process and that he would give us a 6 months guaranty on them, So he convinced me and i ordered two, one for me and the other for my bro, he charged me $450 each T3/T04E 63. Polished Turbine housing ETW 60.AR Compressor, 57.trim,. meanwhile my friend wasn't to sure about it so he desside to go with a turbo that he bougth of ebay for about 450 also not polished, to make the storie short he installed the turbo that was brand new "not REFER" and after the fist run the turbo was gone, and he ended up taking it to the shop were I bougth manie and paid like $350 to get it rebuilt, so in totalled he ended up spending about 800 for a turbo.
Now my experience unlike his was good bk both turbos that i bougth were and still are fine and i'm happy with them. you can cheked them out at MJTURBOSHOP.com there located in Riverside, so if any one is from around here you should give them a call for your next turbo or something.

^ you are on the Against Ebay Bandwagon...Ebay is consisted of hundreds of sellers and you talk as if Ebay is just one seller...Why don't you inform us of the seller's Ebay screen name so we can avoid him and not bash the whole ebay industry...
I've bought so many good deals from Ebay and all you need to do is be smart research the seller before buying. If you get somthing messed up it's because your a idiot and deserve it.

I personally havent boughtin a **** load of turbo stuff on ebay, but I will say with the proper research and the proper tune, you can make any stock honda motor 175whp-200whp+ easyly with the products ebay has. Its not your best route but 1000 bucks can be spent well
