2 up^^^ What he said... and it looks like that turbo is gonna get shwacked in about 200 miles :sosad:
 
i dont know i have heard horror storries about ebay turbos he will be lucky if it surevives through the break in
 
My Ebay 16g is holding up fine i run around 19psi and it is fine about 3500 miles in on the turbo. I did have trouble with the waste gate canister not opening , but i just switched my old canister over. I hope yours works good for you. Nice looking setup.

^^Why 200 miles?

I've heard good and bad about the ebay 16g's but I figured for a third of the price, I'll see how far one can go when it is installed properly (I hope) and broken in properly.

Visually it seems like its decent. You can see that it was balanced because the turbine and compressor wheel nuts are cut/ground.

Yeah I already adjusted the wastegate. I pressurized it with a bike pump and it dind't open till like 20 somethin psig. So I adjusted the actuator rod shorter. I think it will open at 8psig now.

Thanks for the example of running one successfully.

I agree that these turbo might not last as long as a real MHI turbo, but really how long is my engine going to last while I'm the mechanic anyway? ;)
 
We have 6k so far on my girls ebay 16g daily driven :)

And I ran those manifold/o2 housing for 10k+ on a 50 trim 27psi daily

Good luck with the setup
 
Soooo many haters... Like it's their car or somethin... keep the negativity up boys, maybe someday you could actually learn to bring something possitive to the table...

Looks good bro, and I hope everything holds up for ya... keep us posted...
 
Just remember to love the haters buddy, just take care of it and everything will be fine. Clean looking by the way.:thumb:
 
good luck is all I have to say.

It doesn't look bad but again its an ebay turbo good luck!
 
Everything but the turbo is fine. As far as that goes, the turbo is cheap because it is made the cheapest with the cheapest parts possible. I would use the manifold, and o2 but skip the turbo if you don't want to replace it any time soon. 16g's are pretty cheap, even used ones will probably have a longer life.

ditto
 
Best of luck to you! Hope to see some dyno results.
Ebay turbos are typically poorly balanced if at all. They use inferior bearings most times and weak turbine seal. The wheels are mainly made of "pot"metal which are very heavy compared to mhi wheels as well as less quality. You'll get some here and there that last for awhile, but most don't have a good success rate.
Since you're asking how it looks, It looks good!
