im kinda lookin into the whole turbo thing and the turbo available to me is a no name ebay turbo as well but...

we took it to a race shop nearby and found out that one of the tuners used one identical on his car (240sx) and he made 450rwhp in the 25psi range. he said it barely smoked and it was crazy good for the money granted its not name brand.

the ebay turbo im planning on using is a T70 and why wouldnt a well setup ebay turbo on lower boost (5-7psi in my case) perform just as good as a name brand of similar size?

it seems well enough made so i feel decently confident that on a proper tune, etc. that it could be plenty efficient

No one will desagree that any eBay turbo for the most part looks to be properly built. The question is about the things you can't see such as internal stresses from the manufacturing process that no name companies don't worry about like name brand companies might. You are asking a hunk of metal to spin in a crazy hot environment at very high speeds often over 100k.

A turbo is one of those things that in my opinion just because you can make it doesn't mean you can make it right. There is so much more that goes into than casting an impeller, machining some parts and slapping them together.

Again, this is just my opinion since I'm am somewhatof a manufacturing buff and am engineer for a living. I may be a bit bias though.

You people that speak "opinion" without even testing the product is as good as advise of the **** i took earlier dismorning.

You have never tested the product but can put opinions and advise on a product. Just cause something cost more it means its better?? Anymore alot of companies make these other products that you think are so wonderful, but then knock off their own product and you call it ****??

Take Dewalt as an example. ALOT of people are die hard Dewalt tool owners, but call Black and Decker complete ****.....

Really in the end, it's peoples "opinion" weather they know facts over source and they live by it. Do what you want as its your car. I have used an ebay turbo once and beat the living **** out of it for quite some years ago and never smoked or anything. I didnt give 2 ***** about the motor is was connected to and could not blow either item up, besides a headgasket..
