Ebay b16g??

[Raptoreborn]

I've read a few threads concerning the ebay knock off of the big 16g. It seems like the majority of guys that purchased and installed this turbo have had non to little problems. Well that was not the case on my journey to get more power. I ordered the turbo from just-intercoolers. When it finally arrived I noticed that the banjo bolts and fittings were not the correct size. Obviously the size on the stock t25 are 12mm and 10mm for the water and oil lines. They sent two 12mm, one 10mm banjo bolts, oil return line, oil feed line, exhaust mani bolts, etc. Now looking at the ebay turbo water and oil lines to my surprise they were actually threaded for 14mm banjo bolts. I nowhave to tap the lines for 14mm, which is no problem. Has anyone encountered this problem? Also I live in colorado and was wondering if anyone locally knows where I can get 14mm banjo bolts?

I have just recently installed the knock off evo3 16g. The water lines they send you are a joke i just reused my stock lines. I had a 14b before this so i had everything already bent up and ready for the 16g. So far i have like 500 miles on it and no problems, no shaft play nothing. I just got some injectors so i can up the boost. Other than the water lines being junk it was a decent turbo fot the price.

I have had the knock off for 15000 miles and allready had to replaced the thrust bearing because of premature wear. Save your money and buy the real McCoy!

Thanks guys for the quick response.


This has been a real headache. I'm already looking at a 18g or possible 20g from forced performance. Burnett03 I'll be shooting u a email.
