ebay 16g?? anyone used one?
 
or know anyone that has? i've read all the cdm ----, where some have good luck, but others dont.
i just wanted to see if anyone has first hand experience with the 16g knock offs
ive allready heard that they can be rebuilt with new internals, use a normal 16g rebuild kit, but with a garret t3 bearing.

I've never personally used one, but a girl I know with a 2g DSM has been daily driving her car for 2 years now with an ebay 16g, no problems yet. Another friend of mine also just got one, no problems yet.

I've had my ebay T3 for about 7 months now. No problems at all.
