Should You Buy an Ebay Turbo Kit? (are ebay turbos any good)

Have you ever thought about buying a cheap ebay turbo kit? or maybe just a cheap turbo or turbo kit in general? Well in this video I go over a few basic things that I think anyone who is going to buy these turbo kits should know. I have had an cxracing turbo kit from ebay for almost a year now and with my experience with that along with a ton of research I want to help you guys understand "cheap turbos better"
Do your research and just know what your getting yourself into is my biggest suggestion!

Maxpeeding is the absolute best budget turbos. I run 54 trim on my Volvo 940 15psi at 350plus HP and it's great. They are guaranteed for 1 year and they also have now upgraded billet wheel and premium turbos too .

I’ve been running a knockoff td04 on my ej22e impreza for two years. It works quite well. Pulls 10psi no problem, but it does boost creep so I suggest a boost controller. I also suggest porting them with a dremel if you can. I pulled the boost threshold down from 2900 rpm to 2600 rpm by porting the exhaust inlet.

If it’s for fun & nothing crazy like drag racing from a dig at 1100whp it’s a good set up. Roll racing every now and again while keeping the boost under 20 should be fine for awhile honestly. Just don’t beat on it and expect it to last 4yrs metals do heat warp over time.

Depends on how much power you want safely 10-15 psi through a ebay turbo is fantastic. If you wanna max your shit spend the money. Also be smart and see if you can diy your own downpipe other things intercooler intercooler piping you can god honestly save so much money doing that and you can often get better quality. Also for fuck sakes get a standalone and get it tuned dyno time really isn't that expensive and if your using common ecu emu company's like megasquirt haltech it's gonna be less time on the dyno and more on the road and saving more money
