Most parts (intakes, intercoolers, piping, etc.) on Ebay aren't really that bad. The ones that are required to handle high stress are the culprits. Turbo's with the coldside glued on... BOV's with plastic diaphragms... manifolds cast molded without proper cooling... All built in a rush to get out the door.
