What are turbo's worth?

I've been looking around on ebay and if this seems like a good deal then I'll go this route.

I just figured the turbo and manifold were worth 400. Then I could fab up my own piping, but if it's not worth it then I'll pass.

You are correct, but a turbo is a turbo right? I've never seen knock off versions of turbos. The manifold i could understand.

for that price i'll take 3....... oh wait it's an ebay brand turbo.....never mind.


if i'm gonna spend big money on ebay it will have to be with a seller that also has an actual store and sells on ebay also.

i did a reverse phone book search on this endless performance parts and it comes up a residence. most likely it's someone selling knock offs out of his garage.

its a good deal. but you dont know the manufacurer, or level of quality so maybe not.

you'll probly have to buy a fuel kit too, so thats not all you're gonna spend.

Personally, I'd put it together myself, it may even cost you less than that.
