Cheap Ebay Turbos??

What do you guys think about these turbos. I want one that will fit easily, and I dont need crazy power. I dont know if i should trust these.

DONT, a guy on here bought one and it cracked in half even, they are cheap and will break.

edit: if you dont want crazy power why not get front mount, safc, intake, exhaust, and turn up the boost on the stock turbo. it can handle like 10 psi. that could be almost 60hp on a TII with a good free flowing exhaust.

A buddy of mine bought one of these kits for his 87 TII a week ago but hasn't installed anything. You think he should try and get his money back??

it was not a guy on here. it was a pic posted on a honda fourm years ago.

and yes the turbos do suck.

its hit or miss... i know someone local running one, and its just fine. BUT.... i know of MANY others that got them and the turbos dump oil from day one.

its not worth the risk.

you can buy a used 60-1 from a forum member for ~$300... keep checking the for sale section.

or if you want a great turbo for less then most others... check out masterpower. I run a MP t-70 and i love it.

Yeah, you get what you pay for there!! Just send your turbo to BNR supercars in Alabama and get a staged upgrade. That way you can get better power without having to spend an arm and a leg. Or you can contact bobbybeach on this forum. He is a Masterpower turbo dealer and has great pricing with even better customer service!! Best of luck to you.
