[2GEffect6]

Im buying a turbo very soon here and I found one on ebay that I can afford so I wanted to know if this was a good turbo? and if its quality, will it last and perform properly?

Junk, poo, crap, worthless, un reliable, cheap, chinese, boom boom turbo, shit, busted, knock off, "Danger! Will Robinson". Take your pick or use all adjectives.

Stay away. It's $120 for a reason while a genuine turbo goes for 6x that.

Look on the classifieds and piece something together or go with the Hahn kit.

^ yes yes and yes. Total crap. A buddy bought the same exact one, and rebuilt it 3 times under 5k miles. Save your money for a genuine one.
