Is the ebay turbo installed on your car? If not, get rid of it. lol

I have heard that the turbo's are garbage, the oil lines and connectors are junk, and the manifolds can crack. That's about it. But those are three crucial parts of the kit. I bet that the charge piping, and intercooler are fine though.

If you have a turbo kit, do you have the upgraded clutch, injectors, tuning system, and all the other stuff which are extremely recommended when adding a turbo kit?

I say go for it if that's what you want to do. Just be ready if something craps out on you.

I say use it, cept the oil lines even tho they are steal braided I have seen them break down , thats not that expensive though. Some turbos last a while from ebay and cast manifold is fine. But you need more research cause 5- 10 psi means alot of difference and r you putting this on your gsr? Good luck with your build.

lol 5psi on a big turbo and 5psi on a small turbo is a big difference, but since its an ebay kit im guesing its a t3/t4 snail. Anyways ebay kits are hit or miss, sometimes your lucky and sometimes your not, all in all you will probably end up spending the same amount of money as you would have it you bought name brand parts. GL with it tho and keep us posted im interested in seeing if this actually works out.

On other forums, it seems that those who purchase their kits from sellers on ebay with a high feedback percentage have greater success with their kits.
