Please DO NOT Post In The General Section

From this point on until otherwise briefed, posting in the general section of Performance Tech is prohibited. The only thing to remain here will be the stickies. We would just delete this section, but that would cause unintended results.


The majority of the threads created can appropriately be placed in one of the Performance Tech sub-forums or Technical; and the posting of them here is detrimental to the activity of said forums. If you have any questions about where you need to place your thread PM me or one of the other mods.


For the most part you all have caught on without this post, but there have been a few habitual offenders that forced me to say this.


Everyone will get a couple of warnings from here on out, after that I just start deleting threads.

Again if you have any questions, PM me or one of the other mods.

        Was thinking the same thing. If you are gonna go that route at least spend the hundred bucks and get a brand new one.

          Other than it reeking of an ebay turbo. Brand name ones wont say "turbocharger" on it.
          If you are buying that thing used id be cautious especially considering the kind of "filter" its been using..

            Don't do it, just don't trust me. I don't have to explain myself.

                Looks of it here, this shows how immature this forum can sometimes get. Sad but way way true.

                GearBangnAccord- Discount or even free, still not worth it, not only is a eBay turbo or just plain cheap turbo but its used. Some people if not most say buying one of these new off eBay is a hit or miss, but its used so in this case its a Miss or a miss and then possibly a hit. Not a good way to start, so much damage can go on if that turbo fails on you. Plus yes I know u can always rebuild that one for safe measures but how good is that going to make the turbo itself? Just another ebay turbo if you ask me. I'm not exact on the prices of a turbonetics t3/t4OE series but I seen blown one go for 500 dollars and some just need a rebuild.

                Plain and simple just spend an extra amount of cash get yourself a reap nice turbo setup its worth every penny, than instead of spending a dime or more on your engine that can easily been prevented.
