i was doing my research on these ebay turbos and i found that alot of the t04e turbo 57 trim are acctually the same specs and same (exact) pictures from the web site cx racing (they have the same shadows and marks in backround and everything i am curious because the cx racing turbo is 250 and ebay is like 150-200 is it a brand name price thing or is the ebay **** really just stealing pics and giving people ****

also i am considering buying an ebay turbo and cast turbo manifold (budget constraint)

not steal i know there cheap

 

Ok. I would buy the ebay turbo. Get an oil restricter and buy a rebuild kit from http://www.gpopshop.com/rebuildkits.html and the turbo should last a while. Also depends on how much you looking to boost. At around 10 pounds it should be pretty reliable.

 

thats because cx racing is an ebay company. get an spa topmount cast manifold off ebay they are cheap and look good. the ebay turbo's are hit and miss i boost 14 lbs on mine daily and ive been beating on it for three months with no problem. but ive heard of them having problems. but yeah u cant beat a $150 turbo. if yur gonna order one just get it off ebay for less.

 

so buy one and rebuild ? can i use the garret t04e kit on an ebay t04e ? i would do it it sounds worth it!

as for reliability yeah i want 14 psi boost and i want to know of failures and succes with these turbos if at all possible !
