I found this turbo on ebay... seems kinda cheap to me... should i go for it or is anyone else as skeptical as me?

also, would it be a good side turbocharger for a 2200?


thanks

Ebay rule of thumb:
Brand new turbochargers under $400 are garbage. Rebuilds under $200 are garbage.

i'm skeptical on anything other than a name brand turbo.... i.e Garret, turbonetics, etc...

I was going to snag this auction, but its a little more than i want to spend at the moment.

Well sir, I bought one a month ago an Im about to put it on tonight or tommarow night. Ill see how long itll last. The turbo has no play and seems like it would work with low boost applications. When i say low i mean like 3-4 PSI

that looks like crap. you dont need a turbo made by a name brand company, but name brand parts help lol. for instance i had a turbo made by slowboyracing.com. it was pretty cheap for a internally gated hybrid 60-1 ($600). it was put together by this company but it had a pte compressor cover, garret internals, and a turbonetics exhaust housing. alot of companys put together there own turbo's with name brand parts so look around.
