JTalley Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Found this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/T3-T4-Hybrid-Turbocharger-Kit-T3-T4-Turbo-3an-oil-feed-Downpipe-BOV-Stage-1-/271103629776?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D4972715739069648393%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D271103629776%26 Is this legitimate or would I be getting ripped off? I haven't bought it yet, just looking. Quote
RobertISaar Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 find a turbo that actually has specifications.... that's just mentioned as a T3/T4 hybrid, which isn't bad for a 60V6, but WHICH T3 and WHICH T4 are they? what engine are you looking to boost? Quote
alec_b Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 After a quick google search, it appears that these chinese turbo's aren't worth the crappy metal they're made of. Countless threads out there about guys using these and having them disintegrate within a few hundred miles. Quote
RobertISaar Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 depends. some have run them for up to 80,000 HARD miles and still haven't killed them.... results may vary, especially if you attach something WAY over or WAY undersized for the engine... surge on one side, choke on the other, neither is a good situation to be in.

white4d96 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 The thing with eBay turbos is you need to put oil restrictors in or you'll blow the seals out. They're REAL finicky about oil pressure. Honestly though I would not cheap out on turbines. If that fails you could get metal bits going through your engine, and we all know how good that is... Quote
white96supreme Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 If that fails you could get metal bits going through your engine That's what CAC's/Intercoolers are for.... Quote
JTalley Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Posted January 19, 2013 Thanks for the advice. I've been doing simple repairs for a while now, but I'm a complete noob when it comes to tuning. Plus, I've never worked on anything with a turbo. Before today I didn't even know how they worked. Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 Theres alot that goes into putting a turbo on a car. Check out http://turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/turbo_tech_basic A lot of good information there. Quote
Euro Posted January 20, 2013 Report Posted January 20, 2013 The price wouldn't have even made me look twice. $200 for a turbo KIT. nothx Quote
