http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/V-BAN...Q5fAccessories ....sorry for the huge link dont know how to post just the images, but anyways to the pint, why are these ebay turbos so cheap and has anybody every bought and used one?

 

preston is running a t25 ebay turbo and so far so good.

 

so like that whole kit can be used....and can you use that and just swap to better products like piping,intercoller etc.

 

maybe i should pick one up, there less than an hour from me.
they are universal kits that suck

 

you still need a manifold.

I meant like is this kit the crappiest of the crappy, are their gonna be problems every two seconds, replacin parts?

 

oh. im not sure. i thought about this route but im scared that when i get it somethings not going to lineup or something.

 

Ebay turbo kits are known for having turbos glued together that fall apart literally.

You can get one and try it out, but it's not going to be reliable at all. This is what you would get for your 92' pos honda because if it breaks down no worries, it was a pos anyways kind of thing. I would not put this on anything valuable like a new car.

A couple of things you don't want to cheap out on: Turbo, BOV, Wastegate (refer to turbo), boost controller.

 

like IDk seriously months after seeing members post build threads...I came to a conclusion that the people who FI their cars come out ahead...So instead of using the tax return for rims Iam pretty set on buying that hahn bolt on kit...Although I have my dad on my ass saying turbos arent reliable...So as ugly as it will be maybe sportlines on steelies and a turbo..quite the sleeper

 

deffinatly do it right if you are going to do it.

 

Honestly dude, there's a lot to learn if you want to successfully turbocharge your car. I had a hell of a time doing mine, and it's still not running. Not all of that is my fault, but still, one mistake and you could be down for weeks or blow the engine entirely.

I think you should put together your own supercharger kit and make a reliable FI build out of that. No worrying about boost controllers failing, or bov jamming, or wastegate creeping. It's a much simpler, cheaper, and reliable route and I think that's the way you should go.

The fact that you're even CONSIDERING an ebay turbo kit tells me you need to go SC. Not trying to put you down for wanting a turbo, it's just that that route spells disaster with a capital D.

 

no way, its just that I was looking for m62 blowers on ebay and then I came across that and wanted to post it up seeing if thats the ebay turbos everybody talks about, I would rather sc, but I want to buy a full kit...not part for part....But I know if i have to buy part for part I can pm you or hunter,hack,jn or maven....Guess ill wait till I have 2500 to spend on sc parts )

 

great minds think alike...im gonna eventualy go turbo and the ss boys wont even see it comin when i hand them their doors lol...
