my buddy stripped his skyline and selling the stock turbo for 250, i was just wondering if i can take that turbo and put it into the cobalt which is a 2.2

 

anything is possible. specs on turbo?

 

you probably need a custom manifold that fits to your car and bolts up to the turbo. and also you have to consider doing custom downpipe and charge piping too.

 

you can buy a new ebay turbo for close to that price and they work fine for the most part.

 

you can get a ebay turbo for alot cheaper than 250$. theres a guy on here running a cxracing turbo that he paid 120$ for and made 300whp on it.

there not TERRIBLE. but there not very durable either. from what ive seen/heard you only get about 25-30k at best out of them before they have to be rebuilt. but i guess by then u could swap for a garrett rebuild kit.

 

i have 50k miles on my ebay turbo its over 3 years old.

 

I thought they were fine if you replaced the seals with higher quality ones?

 

you really can put any turbo on anything all depending on connections and stuff. like posted before, youll need custom manifold and custom piping and downpipe. in the end it probably wouldnt be worth it for all of the costs custom work.

also on the ebay turbo thing i think its pretty much hit or miss for the ebay turbo's. ive heard good and bad things about them. probably the safest thing to do if u go the ebay turbo route is to get a garrett rebuild kit and u should be good.
