i wouldnt have gotten that ebay, maybe if it came from morad auto parts plus a rebuild upon delivery

matt - will you like to fork me over $1500 for a turbo???

tyrone - thats what ive been reading about. which is why i got the garrett rebuild kit for it as well. as long as the internals are garrett i dont see what the problem is. the internals are the parts that fails.

bryan - morad? never heard.

from the ebay ones i hear its usually the seals. the one u had previously had issues right?

if i remember right mine is one of those garrett cartridge 50 trim turbos. brand new theyre like 600 or so and i got it from a guy for 440 cuz he needed the cash. its held up nicely

im keeping it till i rebuild the motor. then im getting a precision turbo. WAY better prices.. garrett centers and precision housings.

the one im puttin on soon is ebay as well. its the one with the red housing. the dude i bought it from said he was following Daytas build (which is the same turbo he used) and rebuilt it with a garret rebuild kit

lol so u do like those ebay ones. u should look into precision. theyre fairly expensive, yet theyre strong and most spool faster than counterparts.

i think ive saw it. i only like the ebay ones cause the brand ones are too expensive right now lol. why do you think i shop at the dollar store??? lol

guess what goodies i got

Tial 44mm external wastegate baby!!! let the new turbo build begin
