Re: Need Opinions On This Turbo

Look at the guy's feedback. That is the catch, he only has 8 transactions under his belt. That is a pretty big risk to buy something that expensive from a person who's a newbie on ebay. I have had a couple of bad experiences on ebay and have learned to be very cautious of deals like that.

Re: Need Opinions On This Turbo

LT1MAN, I sent you a PM.

That is the goofiest damn turbocharger I have ever seen

There are alot of garret repacas from china that make it to E bay. Those damn chineese people are good as casting but they SUCK when it comes to building a turbo.

The turbine wheel and housing are goofy as hell, the centersection is goofy as hell....

This deal smells fishier than FormulaLT1 with his legs open.

Just go to limited engineering or precision turbo if you want to buy one.

contrary to popular belief, turbochargers are not that expensive. It's the work and plumbingthat gets costly. you could have a brand name, brand new, realiable, proven turbocharger for your car for 800 bucks max.

Oh and another thing, ball bearing turbos are rebuildable, and you usually don't need to rebuild one anyway, the ballbearings they use are pretty durable when compared to standard sleeve bearing turbos.

This is why I am weary to buy turbocharger stuff off of E bay.

I would say leave that bastardized excuse for a hairdrier alone and let the ricer boys blow it up.

Re: Need Opinions On This Turbo

It's not used or missing hardware. IT should bid up. But I am a direct dealer through the Manufacturer Custom Auto Dezigns so I get great prices. They mass produce this item. It has been tested for 2 years and works great. The stage one kit is for lower boost vehicals no more than 8 psi. But you can order the modifications parts from us if you decide to add more. You will see amazing results with the stage 1 kit though. Thank you.
