im personally using and ebay turbo ($300) with rev hard manifold, tial wastegate, and knock off ebay hks blow off and have absolutely no problems with the turbo or blow off. I think the trick with the ebay turbos is to run an oil restrictor, which i have. But depends on budget. You take a chance with anything u get on ebay, some are lucky and some arent.


edit....Their manifolds are apparently prone to cracking which is why i went with rev hard (plus i wanted to keep ac)
