I wouldnt trust buying something like a turbo off ebay either… nor would i buy a no name “ebay turbo” from china. But ppl saying if you dont spend at least a grand are just trying to justify their purchases and thats just unnecessary. Cool for them they have the money to spend $1300 on a turbo alone but other people have different priorities in life like supporting their family, buying/ maitaining a house, etc --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtb-50-trim-turbo/246633)._
