Question

Answer 1

Never buy a pig in  a poke!

Where is E Bay's service center if you have a problem? Maybe just E Mail the car to them for repairs?

There is a definite reason this junk is cheaper and it aint low overhead! You will get exactly what you pay for!

Answer 2

Turbos on ebay is you get what you paid for. All of the components doesnt even match, so you would have to fabricate all the components to make it even fit with each other = more money. Plus, they're all low quality products. In the long run you lose more than you save, but its up to you to make the final decision.

Answer 3

Just use some common sense when buyin. dont but from someone who is sellin one for $1.99 and claims it brand new. hope this helps

Answer 4

Research on who makes good turbos.  You get what you pay for in the turbocharging world.

Answer 5

It's nothing to do with being on ebay. In fact, it's one of the better sources for parts because you can see how previous customers have rated the seller.
