okay so im on the look for a 16g turbo again. the deal on mine fell through ive been looking on ebay and i just dont kno if they are real evo III turbos or not. all of them say they are evo III turbos but they all look different.

so whats my best way of assuring myself that im getting a good real evo turbo. or nice turbo at that?

again im looking for a big 16g hopefully or could settle for a small. if anyone has one or knos anyone with one let me kno( cant be blown and no shaft play)

to clear it up. im not looking to buy a ebay turbo. i wanna know how do you know if its a legit evo turbo or not?

I would say stay away from ebay brand turbos. Most people have problems with them, and very few dont. Remember you get what you pay for, so if the price sounds to good to be true it probably is

Id recommend not buying from eBay. I have a small 16g I'll be selling here shortly. Has literally 2 miles on a rebuild. Can pm me if interested, I'm located in the twin cities.

I recommend that you take a look at the supporting vendors for dsmtuners and purchase an 16g from them. Forced performance, slow boy, punishment, extreme psi, stm etc. They all have 16gs

i added more to my post up above. but to clear it up for any that didnt see that. i am not looking to buy a ebay turbo. just a turbo off ebay... i was looking for a evo III turbo but i dont want to buy one to find out it was a fake evo one. sorry for the confusion.

Stay away from the ebay turbo's in my opinion.
I got one from a friend and he got it off ebay.
So i removed the 14b, and put on the ebay turbo,
Boosted hard for about a week and then the turbo died.
Just stopped working pretty much and siezed.
Ported my 14b and slapped it back on
But yeah i'd stay away from ebay..

ebay 16g's say TURBOCHARGER on the tag.
real ones have a number.

ebay turbos are called (EVO III GT)

also, look for something that says MHI on it.

almost always when on ebay if it is new and under 300 dollars its not the real mhi turbo......
