I have pictures laying around my room somewhere of why not to buy an ebay turbo, want to see????? Compressor housings don't work very well when they are split down the middle with epoxy falling off of the seam..... :)

Here is my advice:
Pick something from here.

Based on your desired HP/times.
The TE-44 is a good all around turbo.
Its the same as the t-04E 60 trim.

Get a new turbo from a reputable source.

thats only fomr that one guy that sell crap name turbos..... if it come in the mastper box from master power its a good turbo

Yeah, but there are others out there, its just so hard to know when your buying it off ebay. Also there is a reason those turbos are so cheap. The internals aren't the best of quality either. Just my two cents and personal advice. I wish I had gone with a name brand turbo from the get go.

master power is a good brand lol

[iGoRa]

Well , there is alot of XS Turbo cr@p and early models YZ. All of them made in china and should be sold in the dollar store. Master Power, those guys from Miami getting them from Brazil, The quality probably not as good as Garret or Turbonetics, but if Viper and others havent destroyded them by now.. It maybe worse it.

turboine (hot or exhuast) side is way to big

[iGoRa]

yes , but this is T3, or it doesnt matter?
a/r - thats all what I should be consider?
Also about GT series should I look for same combo .70/.68?

t3 is just the mounting flange and the houseing is a little smaller but thats still a huge wheel

you want a fast spool find something .68-ish wit ha .70 or under cold side then post up

a 60-1 60-2 61 or 62 turbo would be perfect
