has anybody here tried those turbos from ebay? are they good?
no no no no they are not good! dont waste your money and do some searching:rant:
there have been mixed opinions on those turbo setups… you should do a search and determine that for yourself… I personally decided to spend the extra cash for some well known turbo parts.
thanks guys, what is the cheapest/reliable turbo right now?
yo… there has been mixed reviews with ebay turbos as stated above… from what i heard they arent too bad… however there are the turbos that have cheap seals in them so they arent as reliable but you get what you pay for… pick up a garret turbo off ebay for 250… good luck with your build
if you want a cheap turbo build go to the junkyard look for a turbo eclipse(gst-gsx) or talon tsi and get the turbo manifold make shure its the 2nd gen eclipse/talon (95-99) if you get the first gen it is prone to cracking then there you go… you got a manifold
2nd now you want a turbo… hmmm 1st gens come with a 14b its perfect for a b series engine so hey get that too but make shure the fins are frozen and spin freely then get it rebuilt and balanced for 100$ now you got a turbo but sometimes you get lucky and they have minimal shaft play but i still recommend rebuilding it
then you can get the 1st gen bov (blow off valve) for like 20$ from the junkyard or you can put it in your pocket 
then get some injectors from the eclipses/talons 450cc’s :excite: (make shure if its the first gen get the injectors from a stick)
then thats it… now you just need your charge pipes, intercooler, something to tune your car, and oil lines GL 
man dont listen to them if you get a ebay turbo get it threw tunerimagez same exact thing as garrett. a freind on mine has a crx putting 540 hp to the wheels has a ebay turbo thtat he sent to canada and had poted and new internals put in after he fucked it up
:werd:
14b. If you search, you should be able to find one with no shaft play for $100 or less.
