Ive seen these turbos for sale and heard rumors of power/reliability also seen very very few reviews! But also I dont know of many people to use them? But after some fine research they have contracts with certain people to make turbos using replica blueprints from like Mitsibushi and other known turbo companies, also if you read into there warrantys. LIFETIME REBUILDS!!!:screwy:
My QUESTION is-
If anyone has used them or know of someone or have some more input please do tell I am very interested!!!!!;) (i might be in the market for one!) :ninja:

I have heard the ebay turbos are ok, not great or not even good, but ok for low boost. I have one on my car, not OBX, @ 11 psi and it's working fine.

hmm.... what size and what power? any smoke or oil leaking out? I guess its more like a 50/50 when getting stuff like that!

And as far as the lifetime warranty- that was a miss print. :doh:

they are good for low boost(under like 15psi i think) and need a proper oil restrictor on them otherwise they blow seals. use good oil and from wut i have heard they do great on DD's.

OBX is probably the best ebay brand. But I wouldn't be putting 20 psi to one or anything.

I ran an ebay turbo on the b16 I had, it shot in a week and a half... they are really just luck of the draw. I was only on 8psi, when I was running 4psi it did ok though, but like I said luck of the draw.
