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 **** on ebay and you get what you pay for.?.?. or i could get this one
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Parts...=p4506.c0.m245
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.

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.
