Not to mention that most of them are 5 bolt exhaust so they don't even fit.

I think these people need to learn from experience...
eBay turbos are the best turbochargers money can buy! Go ahead and buy one, see how it works out on your car, and let us know.

I put eBay K03 turbochargers in my Bugatti Veyron, and they work wonderfully! I'm now pushing 1832AWHP... but I don't have dyno charts to prove it sorry they're not on this computer (HINT HINT: WHO DO I SOUND LIKE?)

Ebay is evil not just in the aspect of our Audis but in general. wow Vegas has less addiction and more satisfied customers.

Ok, last bit in this worthless thread.
Ebay turbos = cheap chinese parts and come unbalanced.
Unbalanced turbos = last about a week before they blow up at speeds, that is if the cheap ass seals dont blow first.

I got an ebay turbo in my car and it's doing fine. Not that I am looking for performance, but I haven't had any issues and it's been almost 2 months now. I got it from advanced jdm and if you look at theres compared to the other ebay ones it looks better since they don't spray there housing with silver paint. You can tell just looking at the tags on the compressor housing that there wasn't much effort put in to them. Which is why I went with Advanced JDM, now would I rather have a JDM or KKK K03. KKK K03 all day!!! I know I know why did I buy the JDM one, well I didn't realize till after joining this forum what a mistake I made. But it was too late and I am now a sad owner of one. The only issue I had with mine was that it wasn't clocked right so my wastegate wasn't working right. It was an easy fix though. So it all comes down to you get what you pay essentially. I was willing to take the risk since it was my get my ass to work car.
