Default last turbo question


http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T3-TU...spagenameZWDVW

This turbo is cheap and should give me the power i need. I will never even have it up near 27 psi. Is it reliable or is it too cheap?

This turbo gives you a little more power but it is more expensive. i really dont want to buy this if i dont need it. WHy pay more for this one?

Garbage, both of them.

eBay is NOT a performance parts store. I have said this so many times...

Dude seriously its a waste of money, and a guaranteed failure.

The turbo doesn't exactly 'fall apart' but the seals are what suck. Letting oil into the intercooler piping, and ultimately into the engine. They also have horrible spool times.

If you have a blown turbo, why not just replace it with a stock one? They go for next to nothing anyway.
