The other "cheap" ebay turbos are just the deals you just keep your eyes open for!

I have scored well twice, and the third is in great shape, but too big to actually use...

Mate of mine ran a xspower turbo and it lasted about a week , also don't go near their manifolds if you don't wana keep fixing it from time to time.
Some have lasted ages , but personally I would just buy a used dsm turbo / turbos for sale of here.

I love XSP turbos. I get tons of them to repair. it's always a big job to fix them properly never just a preventive rebuild like garretts! and since they have never worked for very long, they are easy to take apart!!

maybe im the only one with a positve experience i traded a member on here my garret t3 for his ching chong t3/t4 and it ran mint for around a year before i sold most of that kit. not to mention i was using 4an line too. i would buy a garrett or know brand if you got the cash. i had good experience but there has been 10000000 horror storys or rumors of a friends uncles sisiters love triangle friend that blew his up.
