Ebay Turbos
« on: April 19, 2009, 02:04:54 AM »
I know quite a few of you guys are using the eBay type turbos.  I wanna get one for kicks and giggles but wanna see what kind of experiences you've had with them--power, 1/4 miles, oil leakage etc... Looking mostly at the T3/T4's.

I think most of the ebay turbos are now just those with the lil plate compressor engraved with T3/TO4E Turbocharger or something....

But yes I'll stay away from the XSPower

XSpower = ebay turbos
Any turbo that's worth using has a brand name on it.

Can we stop having ebay turbo threads where people who grew up with throwaway Walmart china crap act surprised that china turbos aren't any better.
