Well I haven’t seen any in-depth write ups on here about 1st hand experience with an “eBay turbo”. Last week my Garrett T70 took a shit on me and I’m on a real tight budget until September because me and my girlfriend are going to the Bahamas. So I was looking around for some name brand and used but was having no luck so I said the hell with it and took the plunge. I discovered a brand CXRacing. They have a site its
CXRacing. I found the turbo I wanted on there and it was $199+shipping so I checked ebay and they had a ebay store and was able to get the same turbo for 154$ shipped. Looking at the pictures it seems to be assembled pretty solid.
Some of the specs are..
T3/ T4 Stage 3 Turbo
T3 Flange to manifold
5 bolt downpipe flange
.50 A/R Compressor
.63 A/R Turbine
3” Inlet and 2” Outlet
1/8” NPT Oil Inlet
5-30 PSI Working Pressure
Individually Computer Balanced
Update: Around 8 PM 7-15 I got a Shipment Tracking number, it will be here on the 21st. I also got a 15% off coupon for my next purchase and got a thank you email for the order. I emailed the technical service dept and asked about oil pressure going into the turbo and I got a prompt reply and gave me a solid answer and said they have the perfect feed line/ restrictor combo and that he can get it ordered for me if I need it.
Don’t come on here bashing saying “Ohhh why would you waste your money it’s gonna blow up why didn’t you just spend the money on a “good” turbo blah blah”. I don’t want to hear it. It’s my money and my car and im actually not afraid to test this out.
Here is a link to the turbo that I ordered..

I guess we will see the quality come Tuesday. I can’t wait!
