i've heard of alot of people using ebay turbos, has anyone on here done it or know it's straight

 

If you buy a real turbo from ebay not the knockoffs. Knockoffs have a tendency of breaking. I know this for a fact. Friend went thru 6 or 7 ebay turbos. luckily he got them for free because they guy was willing to work with him and knew they were prone to break. If you're going to buy something, don't get a cheap version, you get what you paid for.

 

After the cost of tuning a k-series why even think of messing around with a crap turbo setup?

 

Buying an Ebay knock off turbo is like buying a DSM and expecting nothing to be broken.

 

well i was told pretty much everything on the ebay turbo is pretty straight besides teh actual turbo will go up and in that case it's not too big of as deal

 

get yourself one of those really cheap "stainless steal" exhaust manifolds from ebay and let us know how it works out

 

Yeah... I heard if you just get a good manifold and turbo all the other crap doesn't matter...


Thats why I'm glad they don't make cheap EBAY superchargers to tempt me.


Keep saving pennies, keep saving pennies...

Ebay turbo's own.. Buy a kit and then post a video of it after its isntalled. Make sure you run it at 20psi to warm it up
Ebay is fine for anything cosmetic. I wouldnt trust it on a 10k car though. maybe an eg/ef. Not worth it.
