First run on EBAY 16g

Nice time, as said you are in the 12s with a better launch.

It's too bad the ebay turbos are not consistent as far as reliablity. A bunch more would be sold.

Amen. I've done a 13.5 Witha stock 14b and FWD. I am NOT bragging. But simply pointing out those results are for any turbo AWD car with half a turbo. . .and 1/4 the traction.

I didn't mean it was truly valid proof... I didn't mean to come off that way. Just trying to give the OP an idea of what is possible to achieve if you take care of your car and your turbo. I just know people will make crazy claims without any types of numbers to back it up.

I will admit, I got lucky. My first ebay turbo from them was not so lucky it broke within a few days and they were willing to replace it since I told them I was trying to prove the validity of ebay knockoffs.. and it only had 200 miles on it at 14 psi(maybe i should have mentioned that part) I wanted to be one of those ebay test dummies back then since nobody else wanted to try them out.. and i was cheap ... Then I got a good one the second time around.

I bought my turbo from xspower. I only remember because my manifold that came with it said that on there. Man that was a long time ago. And I only remember my manifold stamp because the manifold cracked at the collector a month later, I had it rewelded and it held up fine after that

To the OP: Please don't think I am trying to say they will all last anywhere near that. Most people are even surprised to hear of an original (not rebuilt) 7 bolt motor that has lasted 215k miles especially the way I have driven it.

BTW, I know that 99%of people will not get results like that. Even on a real evo3 16g.

What kind of failure did the turbo sustain in a few days?
