Good or Bad buy??? Need help quickly
 

I need a new turbo for my 2001 a4 1.8t and have a few options to choose from and was just wondering if i should listen to my mechanic and get the Stock oem turbo for 890 which has a one year warranty. Oorrrr should i get this,

which has a 90 day warranty but only costs 335 shipped. it appears to be a slightly better turbo because of the slightly increased output but the thing is my mechanic says piss on ebay and you get what you pay for.?.?. or i could get this one

Which appears to be stock, (not the super ko3), it only costs 290 shipped and also has an increased 1 year warranty.....

If anyone has any expericence with these turbos off ebay, tell me any and everything you know and think about them.

Basically i need to know which one would be my best bet as far as, bang for buck, reliability, and performance. reliability is my main concern because i don't want my turbo crappin out again in a few months so keep that in mind when recommending one of them.

I appreciate any help, Mark.

anybody??? please, i only have like a day and a half to decide and any info would really help and be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance

realiability go with stock, neither of those other ones are OEM turbo's they are cheap ebay knock offs. just stick with the stocker or go to a real dealer (apr and many others) if you want to bigger and better. K04 is bigger than K03 by the way.
