Down2turbo Good Turbos?
 
Has anyone bought a turbo from Down2Turbo from Ebay? I think i read that they were good but not sure.

Also, i'm planning on turboing a b18b in the future and don't know whether to get a 48/60trim t3 or a t3/t4
I'm guessing the t3/t4 will support more horsepower if i plan on building it in the future. What do you guys think? WHich one?

I've got one on my car right now. Haven't really had a chance to test it out properly, but it looks nice. :)

I have been using mine for almost a year and I haven't had any problems. It's a t3 60 trim .60/.48 and the box said MJM turbo when I got it.

Re:Down2turbo Good Turbos?
 
so the general concensus is they're good turbos, so what do you guys recommend for a stock b18b which i will probably build later?

Granted, I am a noob, but where are you going to get a plate that matches this bolt pattern?

What would you do here?

Personally, I won't buy a turbo off him because I emailed him some questions and he didn't take the time to even acknowledge that he got them.

Thats funny. I asked several questions and he answered almost immediately. You can buy that flange on ebay. A local exhaust shop may have it too. Very common flange. AMC,Jeep,Nissan,GM all use it.

You mean one of these?

:-*

I ordered mine off Egay for like $30 shipped? I got impatient waiting for it so I went and made one. I took a square of 1/4" steel, a grinder, a torch, a drill, and a chopsaw(to surface it)and BAM! HomeMadeFlanges. ;)

If you asked the guy a stupid question I'm sure he just disregarded it. I'm sure he gets about 500,000 emails a day from dumbass ebayers asking him retarded questions like "How can I bolt this turbo to my car?" or "How much would you charge to install this turbo on my car?" ::)

Thanks. I had only seen the normal 4 or 5 bolt flanges.

No, the question wasn't stupid... it was a decent question about more information on one of the turbos he was selling. He didn't have the AR and trim listed.

go with the t3 definitely

Re:Down2turbo Good Turbos?
 
what size t3 are you guys talking about? .42/.48 is much different than a .60/.63 personally on a built b18 I'd be looking at a t3/t4 because if I build a motor I'm not going to ---- around with some ----- boost numbers.
