76 trim a little big i would say aiming high for using a ebay kit dont waste your money on it lol if you do a kid in somalia rapes his mom

 

Maybe he meant the exhaust side being 76 trim.. that is like a stage 5 exhaust wheel..

 

lol yeah wonder what mine is lol whats a gt3076r

 

that depends.. you can get the GT3076R with many different exhaust wheels.. you can figure it out by measuring the wheels.

 

lol who knows lol

 

w3rdz. I'm rocking an Ebay manifold, intercooler, and piping. Approaching the one year mark and no problems yet *KNOCKS ON WOOD*

 

now are you guys running ems's with the ebay kit or are you just sitting a 6lbs w/out ems?

 

AEM FI/C.

 

haha with what room

 

im with him^ thats a big ___ turbo dude... well atleast for our cars it is..

 

I have all name brand stuff, atp manifold, tial wastegate, dezod ic pipes and intercooler, turbo xs rfl bov, with custom down pipe, and I had a greddy emanage ditched it and went with the dezod black box for partial throttle and a camcon.. However I did have a T04E .50 trim turbo that i bought from ebay in my original setup and I used to for 2 years and 18k miles and never had a problem with it ever, I sold it to a buddy to use on and old shelby lancer turbo and it is still truckin with 0 problems, I upgraded mine to a precision T04E .60 trim. So I guess its hit and miss, I also have a buddy running a t70 on a Z28 camaro that was purchased from ebay for $250 that is a no namer, but the first thing he did was buy a garrett gasket rebuild kit for $80 and have the turbo rebalanced for $250 and he has had 0 problems with that setup as well.

 

not trying to bash on this post but some of the things that are said here can be said about legit kits.....some kits that come with journal turbos that can also fail....i understand about the wastegates and the BOVs i support that 100%....and some of these legit kits DOESN'T come with piggy-backs or injectors....just giving it my 2 cents

 

good info all noted and makes sense

 

ok got a quick question...how is the ebay treadstone styled Cast Iron manifold...i searched and people said it works great for them.....so i thought id ask here too? my power goal is less then 250whp (prolly about 230whp) since im auto.
thanks

 

Chad (SoFLO) has this mani and makes over 400whp with a large turbo (60-1). It's sufficient.

 

I'd be very surprised if the ebay Treadstone mani isn't made at the same factory in China where the genuine Treadstone mani is made. Has anyone ever compared them side by side? I have the ebay version and am very happy with it.

 

ok...another question about the intercoolers from ebay........some people liked them and some did'nt...wat is ur guys opinion?

 

That's the same question as asking do you like Kellog's Frosted Flakes or do you like sugar corn flakes?

 

If you're okay with ~90% of the performance for ~50% of the cost, go with the Ebay IC. If you want the best regardless of cost, look elsewhere and open your wallet wide. Ebay IC's are not all the same, IMO CX Racing is one of the better ebay brands. I have one of their small bar and plate SMIC's and it works very well for my application. I'm losing less than 1psi between the comp housing and intake manifold with this CXR SMIC.

 

is a turbo kit good for an auto tc? ive seen a couple of auto's tc but imo i think its an waste of money. anyone has any insight about auto tc?
