#52735, "I see lots of cheap ebay turbos. What's good?"
I've decided to get working on making my car reasonably fast, so I was sitting around checking out ebay and all the reasonably cheap turbos (300-600, etc.) and I'm seeing plenty of stuff that looks nice, but I'm not sure what IS nice or not. What do I need to look for? I want a reasonable mix of power and budgeting, but I don't know what type of turbocharger to get. T25's, T28's, all these different numbers just confuse me. Or should I even worry about turbocharging just yet? This is why I need help. Note: I tried checking the "things we've seen" forum and searched a bit, to no avail.

No offense or anything, but had you searched in depth, you'd have read the general opinion we have of custom turbo setups: if you have to ask "how, why, what, which," you don't know enough to be building a custom turbosystem for your car, and thusly shouldn't be attempting such a project. Posts of that nature tend to be asking very generally, "What (everything) do i need to have to (anything) ?" and frankly, those that know don't have to ask.
However, since everyone has to learn, here is the way i feel about it - T25's are crap. Don't bother. 14b's are okay if you never intend to make serious power on a built motor. 16g's are good for stock motors, but also have the high HP potential to be used on a built motor running high boost. T3's are okay depending on wheel trim. T3/T4 hybrids can be really good or ho-hum, depending on wheels and A/Rs. Too many options there to get into.

slightly off topic....but nice ride bro, nothing like a clean white eclipse! I think you should save up and go with a hahn or star kit....save yourself the trouble of having to make sure you have all the parts. you know a hahn or star kit will come with everything you need for install.
