has anyone bought a turbo off of ebay new ones are too expensive and i am looking for a cheaper alternative anything helps thanks oh and it is for a d16(zc?)

 

The phrase "You get what you pay for" pretty much describes forced induction.

Yeah, you might be able to get a cheap ebay turbo to work. For about a month. They're kind of notorious for the seals leaking. And when the thing that's spinning upwards of 190,000rpm stops getting oil, it's not pretty.

I'd heavily suggest you save up and buy either a new turbo or find a used one. You can pick up a perfectly good t3/t4 .57 trim for between $300 and $400, and smaller turbos like the 14g and t25 usually sell for around $100-$200.

 

thx man really helps

 

watch the for sale section i might be selling my T3/T4 and manifold soon
