first i would like to say to anyone looking on ebay for no name parts, steer clear. i originally thought members on here were full of s**t about the ebay stuff, i figured they never tried it for them selfs. well let me to you, i should of listened. the ebay wastegate i bought for 30 bucks broke after 3 good pulls, thats 10 dollars a pull! now the wastegate is jammed open and spewing exhaust all over my engine compartment. so this morning i ordered a brand new tial f38 two bolt waste gate for 220. hopefully this bad boy doesn't brake.

i just wanted to share this with everyone, im sure others had the same problem. :cry:

The ebay kits have SOME parts that you can use... The wastegates, BOV, and the turbo itself are all hit and miss and I would recommend upgrading!

I ran a full ebay setup to try it out... I must have been lucky because my parts held their own until the BOV was stuck open!

I started out with a cx racing kit (eBay brand) and I sold the wastegate to get a precision, and the turbod blew after 2 weeks because the company sent me the wrong oil feed restrictor, so I replaced the turbo with a gt 28. The intercooler works and the bov works good, but none of the intercooler piping it came with fit so I had to pay $700 for custom piping. Definetly regret going eBay for my kit
