eBay turbos
I have built 4 turbo honda's with ebay turbos. I sourced all the parts on ebay, don't buy a kit, do your research and buy the components. I only use cast manifolds due to durability. As to the turbo's I have not had any issues with the turbo's other then having to use oil restictors on the supply lines in one case when I had a -4 oil feed line. Too much oil at idle to the turbo when you where stuck in traffic for too long. The longest running is close to a year old at this point with 15K miles on it. I look at it this way, I work on my cars myself and find that I tend to keep tinkering with the setup as to upgrades and such. So in my case I don't want to spend 600-1200 for a turbo that will be used just as long when I can pay 150 for it instead. And for the money I can buy four turbos at least for the price of a name brand turbo, so if it breaks I still am way ahead on money but you make your own choices.
