If you are wanting it, just buy the turbo... put it on... and share your experiences. Done.

Don't talk about it - be about it! Quit bull sh*ttin' and take it apart, measure it, put it back together, dyno it, and THEN post.

Don't get it. Get a Holset HY35 or HX35. They're cheap, make good power, spool quick and are T3 flanged.

Yes they are and I would trust one of those used over a new ebay turbo anyday! It seems some people are having good luck with the ebay chargers... I won't be one to try it

People keep sleeping on the Holset turbos. And they're journal bearing so you can easily rebuild them.

I have ran so many ebay turbos I should be getting a fucking discount by now. The only one I ever had an issue with was the very first one back in 03' and yes back then they were shit.

I have ran 8+ ebay 16gs with no issues, 2 t28's no issues, and a 60-1 knock off as well. Just because some ebay parts are shit doesn't mean they all are.

I understand some people have had issue with them but me personally, I have had not one bad experience EVER.

Is it just me, or do these 2 statements contradict each other?
