ill be running a ssac 42/48, i got a good deal on all the crap i got from them, they sent me two manifolds
on accident, i figure ill keep one as a back up incase one brakes

 

(for about 1200 miles)

 

Cool, then ill just have blaast rebuild it.

 

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...

 

at the very least get a stealthmode oil line kit with his oil restrictor.

 

I have a mint borgwarner gm8
big big $$$$$ turbo in mint shape for 200+shipping

 

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!!

 

I'd call that a positive experience. +1 for ching chong.

 

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.
