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

I was thinking about trying this one out. It will be used on a 3.0 v6.

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.
