Break these Chinachargers down for me.
Those are too much money to be experimenting with. Since you need to retune anyway, I'd go with a significantly larger turbo. Spool is overrated even if I say so myself, you dont need anything below 3500 rpm.
I agree with what hustler's trying to say below whilst speaking like a man.......We need to clearly delineate spool from lag. i'm starting a thread when i feel like it.

to be perfectly honest, I have to agree. I'd much rather have a strong topend than fast spool. then again, some people in here like to be full boost by 3k so...I'm not a track junkie though

You dont have to be a track junkie to appreciate fast spool. I like to have a larger useable powerband, even if it hurts the HP numbers.

im using an sr20 t28 ebay special, but to unforeseen circumstances, its currently loaded with garrett big t28 internals. spool is slow, but dayum, theres plenty of top end pull. i think im around 10psi on stock internals. finally got it running right, now my clutch is dying. so no dyno yet.

Looks like the 2860 with the smaller A/R is where I want to be. Now the question is would you buy this ebay special or go for the $800-900 name brand one?

I would be the other person running absurdflow exhaust manifold, downpipe, and exhaust. Im making 275rwhp and 263 torque at 15psi. Full boost by like 3200 or 3400. I forget the actual number and am too lazy to look it up right about now. The difference between my setup and Paul's is that hes running a 99 block while im running a 95 (different compression). He also has a Begi intake manifold with a 70mm mustang TB while I am running a gutted 99 intake manfold with stock TB (still gave me 11 hp and 1 tq). His intercooler setup is also a lot nicer than mine and shorter.

Need your opinion fellas. Want to but something asap. Would you try the ebay special for $300 or spend the extra $600?

Phil, try the ebay sepcial. Worst comes to worst you sell the turbo for half of what you paid and you gain experience that you can share with the rest of us. If I was in your shoes I would do just that.

IDK, brother. The pics didn't show much detail in the ads, either. I was looking for casting quality as an indicator (possibly a poor indicator), but that's hard to tell from those little pics.
Without a name brand or reputation, you are just rolling the dice with either one. Pick one. Your call. I don't know, but is that one a real Garrett? Hard to believe the price.
