I was actually tricked, and bought one of those turbos on ebay thinking it was real. Stopped payment on my credit card, and sent it back the day i got it. It felt hella cheap, and it didnt have 'american crasftmanship' look to it, if you know what i mean

you get what you pay for. People are aware of this. If they want to pay 200 for a turbo, then thats their beef.

Hell yeah, with a "Compressor Wheel Capable of .59 Lb/MIN Airflow" that should be good for what, at least 5-10whp!

Those damn decimal places will get ya sometimes!

and 1 out of 15 is bad? Not a very good failure rate in my opinion, yet they talk about it like it is. haha

2 of my good friends, well one had and sold it to someonen here on HT(black DA in MD got stolen dont know his sn) and other is in an 00SI, had those "ebay turbos" puttin donw 300+WHP running low 13's, with no problems in the world I personally am not all that down with egay parts but for the price u can buy 2 or 3 of them and still be savin money then goin out and buyin a crazy expensive turbo, and also be putting down same numbers. Its all in how u build and maintain ur motor. IMO from experience there awesome
