Default eBay s475 495$ Shipped??

Has anyone tried this turbo yet? It claims to be a "s400" but I don't think it's a borg Wagner at that price... I wonder if it uses the same compressor and turbine wheel as the real borg warners? Good option for the budget guys that don't even want to spend 700$ for the real borg warner lol

I think my buddy is going to try the S366's from that seller. They are $379 shipped and it looks like they can be had cheaper with making an offer.

Knockoff Borgs aren't anything new. There just aren't enough success stories with them yet, especially when a real S475 is only $130 more.

Hmm I wonder if the New bolt on T4 96mm turbine housings fit these exhaust wheels. My turbo kit is T4 so I have no choice on that. Be cool to just try it out and get my new build going then go with a real billet 76.

My buddy has been running a whole "eBay" turbo kit with one of these fake S475`s on his 5.3 Iron Block Foxbody and has had zero issues. The car gets driven a 100-200 miles a week and raced every weekend all this year and hasn't had a hiccup yet. For the price whatcha got to loose??

If can confirm that the T4 drop in housings will work on the turbo I would definitely try it out.

Curious. Where do we source the v-bands for the compressor and turbine outlets?

Faster spool because simply because it is lighter than a cast compressor wheel

LOL
