Default Best EBAY turbo... ***** and giggles. But what about the AVERAGE?

There are thousands of EBAY turbos out there.....

The best are the BEST that get lowballed.... I know, I got one of them.

But what turbo is the best bang for the buck?

Iv had no problem with the ssauto turbos, however i did notice that my garrett spools much faster, and flows better.

So i say the best turbo is the one you get for free

The best kind, where you get a real turbo for cheap. Brand new GT30 in my case. Only bidder.

Try making more than 261 whp with it. It will fall apart.
