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.

X2 what everyone said they suck leak oil turbines hit housings compressors hit housings sends metal shardes into you motor but imho get an evansperformace CDM turbo if your gunna get one. My xspower t3/to4e 57 trim ran 301.9 hp at 16psi at 8150rpm and 196 toruqe at 7100rpm  best time was 13.2 shitty launches and dirty 3rds all day.
