They snag the turbines off of diesel trucks. More turbos in the diesel truck world than you can shake a stick at.

prob north of 4500 rpms for positive numbers. im betting they take the rear housing from a diesels and stick the popular t66, t88 etc wheels on the front for next to nothing and pop it on ebay. {shrug} ive seen more people running them now and i think they have come a long way from epoxy and hopes holding them together.

depends on if you have a built lump with cams and a 9k rev limit i suppose lol but then you wouldnt be having an ebay turbo with that sort of money invested in your engine lol

I agree!

I dont understand why whould anyone trust an Ebay turbo? I guess if you are going for the Ah! factor when you show up to a rice show, and have all the little ricers slobering over a parked rice machine, with a Lag-O-matic turbo, I guess it's ok. Next thing we are going to see at car shows is best ebay setup!
