what are cheap good quality turbos
 
Im looking for a good quality turbo but that doesn't cost 900 dollars for a garrett. Are there any good brands that make turbos for 300 to 400 dollars?

Look into the EFR series made by borgwarner

yes
Many here run $200 ebay china turbos, with almost no issues.

a good starter turbo is one off from a S13 - S15 Nissan 240sx SR20DET, can be had used for $200-400 on ebay or Zilvia.net

members in classifieds section of this site sometimes sell used turbos for decent prices.

You can't have both.

You guys should learn how to use the exact color as the background like me.

Because it makes it more betterness.

hi_im_sean 08-22-2016 01:29 PM

Blame vlad. I use the proper colors thank you very much.

900 dollars is cheap. I honestly can't believe how cheap the EFR turbos are.

I felt my 2000 dollar rotrex was expensive, because of how shitty it is.

I'm running ebay turbos, high boost, and no problem from them so far. Lots of antilag use as well. They were 200 shipped, if they last 2 years and broke I wouldn't complain but so far no issues.

Do you have fabricating skills or check writing skills?

1) Cheap
2) Good quality

Pick one.


On another note, I also hear there are some good tutorials on YouTube on tig welding your own DIY turbo from aluminum.
Yeah. I find myself feeling more and more at home on mt.net every day...


Do your own research. Even basic searching could have led you to a whole host of china chargers, or a used SR20 T25 turbo.

Typically, people that ask questions like this have neither.
