Need help with buying a turbo!
Need help with buying a turbo! I have been looking and reading on turbos for a while now. I found one on ebay, but was wanting some input from some knowledgable people on tech. I can pm the link if someone will take a look at it and help me out with some pros and cons.
Why don't you just list what it is? If it's a chinacharger don't get it.
as it should, the turbo in that turbo wont last, its cheapo, as far as the piping, im sure its just random elbows thrown together.
There is a guy here who is currently doing an EBAY build. its recent enough to be around the first 3 pages of this section. give it a look, im sure itll halp you out

if you buy the parts you can get a turbo from Modular for ~$500 and you can look at FI.com for some of their budget turbos. But if you are looking to do a budget build you better read up because FI is very involved and you are going to spend some money on other things to support what you are doing. Best to read the sticky. Real price for forced induction
i also reccomend you spend with rob at modularturbo.
those ebay deals will provide no warranty, no type of customer service, no support and dont even think of getting any help should anything go wrong or be defective with the turbo. pretty much sold as-is.

NemeSS and the fugitive thanks for the referal.
They are all correct Chinabay = garbage turbos
I sell every brand of turbocharger and the absolute most reliable and inexpensive turbos are Masterpower turbos. Your typical MP turbo for an LS1 powered vehicle starts at 600 dollars, from there it goes up depending on size, horsepower goals, brand, etc.... Give us a call I would be glad to help you out.
We also have a single and twin turbo kit coming out soon for 98-02 F-bodies.
