YMMV.

I wouldn't do it. I've seen how they're engineered/built, having taken them apart numerous times.

^ to piggyback what he said, I have seen my honda boys blow ebay turbos in less than 3000 miles, the last honda meet I went to 90% of the boosted cars had ebay turbos along with oil leaks and smoking. So please stay away lol!

Now if you find a GTI-R T28 on ebay that's a different story, but even then you are still taking your chances...

Look in the for sale section here.. Ebay turbo kits are complete crap. There's no way they will last... They leak and nothing fits right its just all a mess

People talk with no experiance FK no one on here has bought one.

I have a Friend that installed a T3/T4 on a GSR motor in a hatch its been running good for almost 2 or 3 years now. And he tracks it 1/4 mile he hits 12.9.

Even the shop where i got my car tune said Ebay turbos have come along way from when they first came out. Lots off people don't do the install right just like with regular stock turbos and they still fk up.


I now Bitch** are going to start bashing and hating but its the truth and that civic is still running
