Recently the seals on my 50 trim blew. Without a lot of money burning a hole in my pocket, I found myself looking at cheaper turbos. So until I can purchase a precision or other ball bearing/billet turbo, I've decided to jump the gun on an ebay special of the GT3582.

Link can be found here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/XS-Power-GT...ash=item1c76f2d3d0:g:WFcAAOSwMstYRDMQ&vxp=mtr

Will be keeping this thread updated with my experience with the quality and overall usage. The car will be daily driven so we should be seeing some results fairly quickly. If you're not familiar with my build don't hesitate to check out my build profile!

Or you could of spent about $100 more and ran a Holset and not have a turd of a turbo and crappy powerband:)

Very true, I could've spent a couple hundred more and gotten something really nice! But I was in a pinch and couldn't afford more at the time. The power band would probably be a lot more enjoyable with more boost too, on a built motor.

And at the same time, somebody has to try it out! I don't doubt there will be other people in my same situation looking for a cheap turbo. Through my experience they can know to steer clear or scoop one up.
 
The Talon is tucked away while I move and get settled in NC. Won't be any updates for a while since I'm not driving it but rest assured everything is still good as golden!
 
I've seen lots of people running eBay turbos. Some with good/decent experiences and others not so much. Hopefully it holds up for you...Looking forward to seeing how it goes.
