Junkyard turbos are different then ebay turbos. JY turbos are well built proven turbos. The junk on ebay isn't.

I can't speak from experience so this is just my opinion. The phrase "you get what you pay for" comes to mind.

There is a difference between buy a cheap turbo kit and building a turbo kit on the cheap.

I'm on my 3rd year of my ebay turbos

40- 50 thousand dollar motors. yea they make that much power. A NSC engine after all the in house machining still is about 80 thousand so take it from there I have seen 800 horsepower on a chassie dyno to the wheels. Put a restricter plate own and it will cut it by half
