Hey guys...once agian. A question ran across my little brain.

What turbos do you guys find reliable and good..Also IS THERE ANY EBAY TURBOS THAT ARE GOOD? I am not talking about the CHINESE turbo...Actually saw a 300$ turbo t28 replica...Not sure if it is good. Also What is a good choice for you ka-t guys? t25 or t28? Oh yea...This is for a stock internal turbo setup.

You could get a used t04e 50trim? Good for your power goals.

Spray it enough and it will blow anything too.. Nos is expensive power after you factor in your rebuilds.

Back to the O.P's question. People have had good luck and bad luck with ebay turbo's. The problem is you really never know what your going to get. Even if you buy from the same guy, one person could swear by him and another could have blown his turbo after 1000 miles. Your best bet is just to save the extra few hundred bucks and buy from a reputable dealer.
