Budget Turbo Setup Been looking at some turbos on ebay for a couple of days, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/GT45-...spagenameZWDVW
Any thoughts on the size of this one for a stock LT1? I know its and ebay turbo, and some people are weary about the quality of them, I have used quite a few, and haven't had issues out of them, I use a good wastegate like a turbonetics, or tial. Think that turbo will be too big, for about 5 psi, LT1 A4, brand new LT1 though. Just don't care to grenade the motor till I finish my 408. This will be used on it too.

Better be careful about questions pertaining to any products not sold by a sponsor...I had a mod close a thread I posted asking questions about a similar eBay turbo set-up.

I am just checking to see if anyone had ever had any experience with those Ebay GT45's, I have used quite a few of the Mater Power GT45's and they've lasted for a long time, but non of those generic GT45's. Think that GT45 will be too big for a rear mount setup, looking for about 450-500 rwhp, on the LT1.
