Guys 67 vs 60mm turbo so yes it will more Power, the question is it gonna last longer than the turbonetics? We dont know but time will tell.
Its not about power its reliability....we need to learn how to respect others peoples choice , i don't like ebay turbo but i will not bash him because he bought an ebayturbo if thats what he like ,he could whatever he likes his car,his money, his turbo.

the problem isnt that ebay turbos dont give or cant handle good HP/TQ or that they dont look good the problem is their life span.

i understand exactly what you mean but like i told other people, the ebay turbo was only meant to be a replacement turbo until i can afford a really good turbo. plus the turbonetics only lasted for a few months before the seals blew but i still ran it for over a year w/ it before i bought the ebay turbo.

it's ok for the money but sometimes the car would run really rich out of no where and make it hard driving red light to red light w/o stalling out. but like most people will say, go standalone .

If the turbo fails or breaks oh well, just buy another.

my ebay turbo works great, spools a lil slower than a name brand, but the seals are warn and i put out a lot of blue smoke when my oil is running really hot/thin =)

Its the Big T4 Chinese turbos that last.

They already have 360 degree thrust bearings, and larger shafts then a T3 frame.

Isn't it funny that a Chinese copy made more power then the Dinosaur 60-1?

Good job!
