my turbo build

**Beatdown Z** · 07-01-2009 08:36 PM

it does'nt have a name at all does it? I'd be worried about quality of materials and how it was built, two factors determining how long it will last. Also, I've never heard any good about the ebay turbos. But on a plus side, your truck is now the official test mule, so start driving that damn thing

there are a ton of ebay turbos running around. i don't just buy somethin without researching. with the right prep i feel comfortable this turbo will last me a long time

A few months ago a guy brought his twin turbod fbody down to were i used to work to get a sd tune and the guy had built his kit 3 years ago with ebay turbos and was his daily driver. no problems at all he said. made 600 untill he was running out of fuel

Sweet, so as long as you break them in well and take care of them, they should last. Good to know.

really? im still kinda skeptical about the ebay turbos
are there any cheap brand name turbos?

Ive heard that some of the compressor housings are actually epoxyed together.

**phantom405** · 10-26-2009 12:46 AM

this one was not epoxied together. if you do your research these turbos will live...this particular turbo is still goin actually

can you get me a link to a similar one on ebay? i want to see what it looks like
garrett turbos look pretty nice

Everyone bashes these ebay turbos. I have never personally owned one, but I do know a kid who put one on his mirage set at 8 psi. Its been on there for 3 years without any problems. Maybe its hit or miss...or maybe its people who install a turbo kit with inproper oiling and drain problems. Not everyone who installs a turbo kit knows what they are doing.
