is this a good turbo?

Yeah I wouldn't waste my time with that turbo on a supra but for a 4 banger it wouldnt be to bad.
I installed a kit with one of those turbos on a GSR got it tunned and it was around 270 - 290 shortly after the car got stolen but it was damn fast when it was around not too sure how long the turbo would last but for that price replacements should be easy to get.

what do you think?
it's cheap.
there's no real information in the auction.
the auction includes a bunch of other stuff.
:3d_frown:
BOSS Series turbos are direct bolt ons, or you could get a manifold from SSAC for about $200 and be done with it.

Boss's, CT upgrades (57-60 trims), JT turbos. There might be a SP turbo that is bolt on as well. Plenty of options depending on your HP goals.
I work in a shop that does mostly turbo and injection pump rebuilds... It kills me to see how many guys run these turbo's then bring em in for a rebuild.. basically they're junk
it'll work just fine take it and get it spinn balanced and you'll be on your way, wouldnt boost past 22psi but thats just me. . . trust me they do work and work great. . . how do i know??? well 2 friends of mine ran that exact turbo one on a mitsu starion and the other a mk2 supra (not on the forums) and both to this day are running strong (a year and half later). . .
the starion made something like 375 at 17psi and the mk2 made 400 on the dot at 21 psi i beleive. . . the mk2 is now sold i beleive and the starion has since upgraded the internals to real garret parts but for the time all they wanted was a turbo right then and there and got this exact turbo spin balanced and both ran fine with great spool and no prolems what so ever..
sry to burst everyones bubbles but they do work just fine......
thanks

also add more, it all depends on your horse power goals and how you want to achieve it, other wise for bolt ons (57 or 60 trim ct26's) (jt turbo @ mdc/notrice.com) and (boss and sp) however ive heard many problems with both of these companys, you can also go to (935motorsports) and they make their own version of the ebay turbo with a warenty and the turbo is like 500 bucks i dno anything about it but it looks like a deal to me. . . . but as far a long tube monifold goes the skys the limit with t3's t4's and even t6's if you wanna get that crazy.....(garret, holset, obx, turbonetics, inovative, precision, borg warner) there are so many out there.......
