aRe the ebay turbo good?

Where can i find a good turbo for a fair price? I saw on ebay a turbo kit for 600 bucks.

Cheap, fast, long lasting.
Pick any two.

from the ebay listing: "Suggested for 1.6L to 2.3L engine"

Are you sure this is who you want to purchase a turbo for a 3 litre engine?

There is a reason that turbo kit is cheap.

Don't see any turbo manifolds so some custom fabrication will definitely be required.

You need to understand first what is involved with going turbo means and then the REAL money that it involves to do a decent setup. This is no nickel and dime project

Well, not the "ebay kits", but certainly THAT kit is. OP, search his other listings....gee, the honda accord kit is identical to the maxima kit!

Have you given any thought to what you'll bolt the turbo to? There's a shocking lack of manifolds in that kit.

I don't think it's the eBay turbo's fault that the DSM guys are having issues...

Well that's also because the 5k kit is designed specifically for your application. But you knew that, right?

Check out Speed Force Racing's kit for the 5/5.5 gen. Just as expensive. Made to bolt directly up to the car.

I don't agree with this statement. Perhaps a better way to state it is, "an incorrect turbo application or setup for your car will destroy your engine."

If the turbo is setup correctly our engines can handle them without modification unless you get crazy with the boost PSI.

That's what i meant, the comment was for the turbo he asked about. I know our engines can handle it, I have that in the future for mine.
