anyone buy a turbo from them, I'm starting to window shop for my kit and There pretty cheap, heard mixed reviews.

[Oldsman]

cheap = shitty....................PERIOD

[the_weber]

looking more for someone with actualy experience with the seller. but thank you

[Oldsman]

looking for someone with experience why not PM ion or blackjack since they are the only ones on here with turbos.

Why not check the BBB also.

[spc2125]

anywhere you look you wont find the real thing cheap.
walmart doesnt sell turbos so suck it up and save the dough

[the_weber]

again, someone whos actually dealt with the seller or know someone who has. thank you again for the advice.

[Lucalare]

I doubt anyone on here has dealt with that seller, and there's a reason for that. If you're going to buy something as big as a turbo get a well known brand (Greddy, Turbonetics, HKS, etc.). It's better to put a few grand in and get good results than to spend a little less for junk.

everything on that site looks like shit. If you want to turbo ur car do it right save the money for it. 300 bucks for a turbo is way to cheap. It will blow in no time. If the turbo blows it can send shards of the compresser wheel into the engine which is not good.

[the_weber]

Im only pushing 8 PSI, so I was thinking going with someones stock turbo any way. thanks

[[ion] C2]

get an old Volvo turbo

PM Spilner521 and see if he'll take his stuff off for you. he has basically the same turbo I used to have, and his car hasn't moved since he bought the Evo

[the_weber]

thanks that would great.

Ssac makes turbo kits for hondas and the manifolds are famous for cracking. The turbos themselves are kind of a hit and miss some people do great with them others only get about 6k out of them. The main issue is oil leaks.

Greddy turbos are garbage... Get a garrett or get an ebay turbo and have it rebuilt with garrett internals

[JLw7123]

i would go with HKS, Garrett or Turbonetics. My buddy has a turbonetics turbo on his and he has had no problems.

[xXManwhoreXx]

I actually have always used bullseye or precision im about to get a garrett

[JLw7123]

how did you like the percision turbo and what size were the hot side and cold side.

[the_weber]

spilner already sold his car :(

[JLw7123]

you must have a junk yard near you you might be able to find a turbo or supercharger from a cobalt.

M'kay, I've never had any desire to turbo my car so I haven't researched which brands are best, that's just a name I remember seeing a lot.

[xXManwhoreXx]

The precision was a 6262 which was on a 3rd gen supra my buddy had but I drove it while he was in basic training

And garretts were nice before they moved from japan to china now they are the same as ebay turbos

just say no

As if the turbos on eBay have better QC than Garrett turbos.. :rotflmao:

Regardless of what country they're made in, the company has quality engineers that monitor the plants and inspect the components they produce.

[xXManwhoreXx]

I ment greddy not garrett oops!

Naw garretts are as good as ever

[Redog]

Webber, just because everybody on here does not have a turbo, doesn't mean we don't know a shitty turbo when we see one.

Think about it. The first time I bought a house, I never owned a house before, but going into a house that has water damage in the basement, you know it's going to have issues down the road

[spyhunter]

looking more for someone with actualy experience with the seller. but thank you

experience from the seller is a quick search on google away.

you go the cheap way for high precision equipment you get cheap results

[BlackJack]

my turbo is the T-70, .72/.84 from SSAutochrome.

And yes, it's hit and miss. My first one chucked the bearing, but it got replaced with no issues. But I'm saving for a garrett bb soon. This one was basically cheap enough for me to start out with so that making mistakes wasn't so costly. Now that I have a grip on everything, I'm moving on to something better. If you already know what you're doing (which I assume you don't if you're asking about ebay turbos) then go for something better right off.
