any reviews or comments? Recently my turbo went on my evo 9 and I cant seem to find a nice cheap used one. Would this be worth it? Anyone have any comment or reviews on this product?

Do not put this on your car. Find a used one in the for sale section.

your cheapest options it to get a VIII turbo for around 150-200 bucks( w/ J pipe) and save until you can upgrade your IX. All you need is a viii J pipe since you can bend the oil and water lines.

don't listen to anyone, because they have never tried it they just judge everything by the price.. Alot of the stuff on ebay has good quality now because of the competition but most of the stuff made on the turbo is by garrett because they are the only ones that make it.

i use to rape my friend that has a sti on stock turbo now he has a ebay TBO 20g turbo that he purchased on there now i cant even keep up with him.. he pulls me about 4 cars from 45-130

Are you saying that garrett is the only one who makes parts for turbos?!

Just buy an Evo 8 turbo if your looking for something cheap, don't buy that Ebay stuff for things like this

As most people have said I wouldn't do it. The extremely low price scares me for something like this. When you say your turbo went out what do you mean by that? It could possibly be salvageable and just need a rebuild. You could then do that on the cheap
