anything that has moving parts in it or is a vital piece to my car / mechanical piece, please save the extra money and get the good stuff, not ebay. Only thing i ever bought from ebay was my hid kit, 3 inch turbo back exhaust for 80 bucks (the hangers broke off 2 years kater), and some led bulbs to replace the interior bulbs with lol. you will appreciate your car a lot better knowing you have quality parts in it.

DAMN for 130 bucks thats a nice piece. personally i use a Boomba 75mmTB but if i had a stock manifold i would try that. its cheap enough.

but like the guy above me said. how long will it last.

some parts are fine to get, like an exhaust thats basically a pipe
but for a tb, like mentioned above, just get yours ported and have a superior product that wont fail you

that ebay tb might work for now, but the seals will probably go soon in it, as they are probably ****ty quality.

I bet it will leak somewhere as it sits. Just wait for a good quality used piece to pop up on the forum. I picked up a Boomba with all adapters for $200 from a guy on the forum parting out his TA car.

im almost willing to buy it and try it. price is cheap enough to not care if it does leak.

but if it does leak, im sure it wouldnt be hard to return it and get the money back anyways.
