hi all just wondering if anyone has bought a turbo from ebay and what they are like. they come with all the stuff but it sounds to good to be true for the price
If you’re talking about the SSautocrap turbos than yes its been covered and they are crap all though you can find some good ones on ebay but like people have said before you get what you paid for and as far as turbos go I wouldn’t go for the cheap ones. My $.02. :search:
simple answer…no
some people made some good numbers with it and it lasted years, but too many times it cracks and just blow. Would you by a car that people have claimed to be ‘citrus’ (thats how they call it here, which means a car that have so many problems that you just want to rename it and start over again)
No. Of all the things to skimp on a Turbo shouldn’t be one of them. Buy NEW and buy Name Brand. A new Garrett can be had for ~$550 on honda-tech.
BTW, I bought a rebuilt T3 and the seals lasted about 2 months before they went.
Check out www.Kineticmotorsport.com they can custom build you a turbo for a very reasonable price, or just grab one off their shelf of thousands of turbos.
