    Found one on the web and seems cheap, but is an EMUSA brand turbo any good?

    It's a sickness isn't it? When do you know you have it? Do you run a fever, or get the hives? I know you salavate!


    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Suba...ptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

    I hate to show you the source, but this is where I saw it.
    I really hate to buy anything used. You can probably get some good stuff, but you are rolling the dice.....just like ebay.

    If I was to do it, I want bigger gains, quicker spool up and longevity. Oh, did I mention cheap...

    I know so does everyone else!

    True.

    Best suggestions are????

    If I begin going foreward, I will buy each piece of the puzzle separately and over time so it doesn't hit too hard.

    I don't think the wastegate will work. eBay IWG's never work

    pshh...16g is perfect for the little ole 2.0L.:biggrin: Quick spool, power up top....can't beat it for driving around town.

    Chris, as already mentioned, keep your eyes on nasioc. just an fyi- I snagged my Forced Performance 16g new off of nasioc with braided oil line for 600 shipped. :yumyum:

    I was also stay away from unknown brands. Stick with FP, Deadbolt, Slowboy or a VF series turbo.

    Anything that says "Speed Racer Performance" I'd stay away from. "well balanced"?
