I cant speak for the total systems, but i have a friend running an ebay turbo on his turbo'd cavalier, and to my suprise its still spoolin after 3 years. And this guy in no way shape or form is "easy" on anything.

Now, with that being said, i have read the horror stories about ebay turbos and what not as well......maybe he just got a factory freak.
