You nailed it on the head, one rule of thumb I go by is "Don't buy anything internal off of ebay".NOTE: DSMers please don't look at this thread as a motivation to buy ebay parts, they are crap. prove me wrong with evidence, Again don't tell me your ebay exhaust have 3000000k miles because it is an exhaust and its just a piece of metal that will live for years.
and we just happen to be a very large group of people on the internet, who have seen literally HUNDREDS of more or less this same post. different phrasing of course, but its always "why does everyone hate ebay turbos so much, blah blah blah" then 3 months later "! MY 150$ EVO3 16GT TURBO BLEW UP!!" then they sell their dsm and by an integra. I'm not saying your turbo IS garbage, I know nothing about godspeed so I can't speak to that. but I would highly suggest that you not come to this forum, and tell all the people who have been working on dsms specifically since we were 16 that you think we're wrong about something.
dsms are like NOTHING else. you come here from anywhere else and you have to start over learning a lot of things because nothing here makes sense.
not 16, i was 13 when i started the only day i would be surprised is when justin tell us that ebay turbos are not crap.
I am not saying I am right. Please do not think that. I am saying that I have the chance to try it out, shed some light on a subject that is to me a hot button topic on this site. I have the ability to try it out with basically the risk of being out $300 more than what I already had planned on being out. I already planned on having the motor and head torn down and rebuilt. So, it is really just a science expirement to me.
dear god. working on someone elses? or did you get one when you were 13 cause you knew it'd take 3 years to get it running xD it took me nearly 2 years to get my car off the jackstands
Are you serious? look what you are comparing, steel pipes or aluminum that their work is just let air pass VS a turbo which is a mechanism with bearings seals and a bunch of other stuff. WOW sorry but you FAIL, sorry to tell you this but your eBay turbo its not gonna last and if it do won't be much.

jusmx we need you here!
Be realistic at least?Does your turbo have a lifetime warranty?
Have you been to these sweatshops in China and saw them paying 10yr olds $10 to make Turbos out of beer cans?
Wanna prove a point, get 2 engine dynos with two new motors built by the same person and install both a Evo III 16G and the Godspeed 16G I bought. Run them non stop until one turbo gives out. Then we will have a definitive answer. It says it is a Godspeed Turbo and Godspeed has an actual website so, it may be a real Godspeed Turbo. I looked on here and the guys with the Godspeed Turbos have had good luck. Maybe it is a knock off. When I get it in and have it looked over by my shop we will know more.
How much does yours flow, not what the manufacturer tells you, how much have you measured?
As far as my approach to modding, do you know what other parts I am buying? Do you know my goals, the shop I am using? Just asking. So, I wanted to see what this turbo would do. What harm is there other than it either turning out to be a fun temporary turbo until I get the Super 20G and AWD swap or a piece of garbage that I replace with a different turbo or just put my stock one back one.
If I was a person who believed in the Ebay Turbos are shit thing, I would say "hey let me know how it works, let me know the goods, bads, likes, dislikes and who you got it from." But, I guess I am just a person who looks at things a little more open minded.
so buying things such as ebay turbos is like playing russian roulette with a half full magazine half of us get lucky the other half, not so much.
hmmm...
russian roulette is played with a revolver, not a gun with a magazine because it will shoot every time, wether its 2 rounds, 10, half a mag or a full mag???? , but i understood where you are coming from, i got the point...

Next time you rebuild your motor through some "ebay" pistons and rods in there with your ebay 16g and lets see how long it takes for you to blow that motor.
I never said used was the way to go either? I agree that there are parts you can get off ebay where you don't need tier 1 product I.E. intake, exhaust, catch can, etc. (Piping is piping imho) However, things such as turbos and other main components should not be over looked when deciding what to go cheap on.First off it is throw not through, second of all I never recall and I read over my posts saying that I was using Internals from Ebay. Gotta love how people THROW in stuff that was never said. Buying stuff used is just as much of a crap shoot. You have no warranty, no idea of what shape it truly is in until it is delivered, no idea how it was treated, etc....
I can't wait untill you discover how true this is.Just don't sell your car to a junkyard because your turbo blow your engine.
