Turbo that's cheap like whoa.
 
Ok, I'm still new with the turbo stuff... and I did search around, but didn't find any info... But does anyone know anything about this turbo at all?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33742

That's a rad price, so if the thing isn't a piece, I'd not mind saving a little flow for tuning and stuff, instead of having to pay for the Greddy I was looking at.

Any info on the piece is greatley appreciated, as always!

Ehh I have heard equal good and bad. But I think any complany that has to give you extra CRAP like pullies,cheapo cams and belts are just junk. But Like I said good and bad.

Crappy manifold/wastegate, doesn't say what brand of turbo it is either.

it may be cheap now, but when shit starts breaking and you have to replace it, you'll wish you woulda saved and bought a quality kit.

Ninj4r Apr 20, 2005 05:33 PM

word... thats what I figured, i'ma hit up the Greddy...
Figured i'd just ask 'tha pros' if it was worth looking into, and as usual, an answer was provided quickly. Thanks as usual! :kiss:

WG looks good to me, it's a TiAL from what I can see in the pic. I'd worry about that manifold too, but the design looks nice.

It's definitely a lot of stuff for that price, but it makes you go hmm...

It says "super wastegate" which screams TiAL knockoff from 2385 miles away.
