eBay turbo

[CMF_Pierce]

Hey guys, what's the word on eBay turbos ( they're generic Taiwan's right?).

I'm cashed up and have yet to decide on either an eBay td04 or t25 model, or a gumtree resale td04 or t25.

EBay is new but gumtree is OEM from car companies.

What everyone's thoughts and pros/cons?

Thanks.

I think we have people ask about this and it's best to just stay away from eBay turbos

Ummm after reading other forums I'm leAning towards a rebuilt turbo from a performance shop? What would that cost I wonder....

You should be able to find a t25 good condition for $2-300

Get on to the skyline or silvia forums as many people upgrade and sell standard turbos.stay away from ebay junk

i got mine on ebay, but i got brand name though. ebay isn't all bad, look where the item comes from, who is selling it, feedback scores etc etc. if it's genuine or not.

t25 I think are the stock turbo from s13/14 sr20s and t28s are off the jdm s15. you should be able to pick a second hand one up fairly cheap

i think t25 is ca18, t25g is s13 sr20, t28 is s14 sr20 and gt28r (gt2560) is jdm (or all?) s15 sr20.

Buy a second hand one off a forum for no more then 300. Stay away from Ebay new ones as they are not balanced properly in most cases and dont last long.
