ive heard mixed things about ebay turbos. some last,some don't. why not just get a stock t28 for the time being? they are relatively cheap

Not worth the cheap craftmanship or the headache that the customer service (or lack thereof) will present to you....leave the egay turbos to the hondas i havent heard a single good story of one on a nissan as of yet.....just buy a t25 or a t28 or save up the cash and get another one.....remember you cut corners and u will wind up in a circle gl

You get what you pay for, I have seen ebay turbos last for 2 years, and I have seen them seize up after 20 minutes. You're taking a big risk by running one.

ebay turbos are hit or miss like omgwtfbbq said..i had a ka-t car that made shy of 300 and it gave me no problems but if you have 300 to spend just buy a t28 they go for 250-300 used in good shape

but the disco is a little bigger than a s15 turbo.
