Ebay 57trim?

Anyone on here use a ebay 57trim yet? I have a friend who is running one on a cheap build single slammer hatch. Hes running 11 on it.

I'm thinking of swaping my PTE 50trim for one.



unless you have 1st hand experience with the turbo please leave your negative comments to yourself.

because i've herd good things about it.

Back when I had my integra I bought alot or parts from ebay and have steered clear of ebay parts for my evo. Ebay parts get good reviews from some people and terrible reviews from others, even about the same sellers product. Ebay is really hit or miss. I say buy at your own risk. Personally I think its to big of a chance for my evo.

Ebay turbo compressor housing are made of two pieces that are glued together. You might as throw some D's on that ***** while your at it.

Basically, you get what you pay for...and like Modified said, it's hit and miss. One person could have 0 problems with the same turbo that person #2 could have taken a crap on him @ 1k miles. It's really a craps-shoot...

why does everyone think ebay makes parts? Just because it is sold on ebay does not mean its crap, there are many name brands on there, you just gotta be careful what you buy.
