Anybody had any positive experiences with some cheap e-bay turbos?
 

SSautochrome, or xspower, or OBX turbos? I know i will probably get flamed, but I just want to ask so I can start buying parts.

honestly i would rather buy a used turbo from one of the members on here.

those turbos are know to fail with the first 3 hours, i have heard of people running them for over 6 months, but these were only rumors.

alos visit blaastperformance if you wanna spend a little more, and have a great setup.

if your going to spend 450 on that second obx one why not get a borg or a holset for less ??

Re: Anybody had any positive experiences with some cheap e-bay turbos?
 

Do you have a link to a new borg warner or holset turbo for that price, and similar size?

Re: Anybody had any positive experiences with some cheap e-bay turbos?
 

i bought my used borg for $120. you can do the same and send it to blaast performance and have it rebuilt to brand new for less than $450. there is one in the for sale section right now for $150 shipped.

i love my borg warner. granted, i have it on a 1.8 liter, but im sure it would spool insanely fast on a 3.0 V6

I helped a local guy put together one of the SSAC kits on his built b18a1. His ran flawlessly for almost 2 years until he sold the car. Of course we also added an oil restrictor to the setup, and made sure to properly oil the bearings in the turbo before letting it spin. Last time I talked to him (right before he sold the car) he said he was dyno'ing low 400hp with 750cc injectors on Crome pro.

I've got a T4 60-1 on my Z. I'll be running a oil restrictor on it cause alot of what I hear is the seals die out and start spitting out oil.
