Can we trust this turbo ?

I found this TD06 20g on Ebay and the seller has good feedbacks on this turbo.

However, I am still afraid of getting fake turbo from ebay so I ask you guys for opinion. And one more thing is the turbo flange, I can't find any adapter or exhaust manifold with the wierd triangle flange to fit on this TD06 housing. :-/

That turbo is from SSAutochrome! Anyone who has read anything on here for a while will tell you that you do not buy anything from them except the O2 housing. Try searching for SSautochrome and you will find out more.

if you can find a turbo off a recent turbo saab 900 get it. I got one from the local salvage yard for 40. It has no shaft play and had only 10k miles on it. Plus the entire car looke to be in mint condition minus the damaged rear end.

that flange is for a Subaru WRX....their flanges look just like that. You cant buy that turbo unless you make a custom manifold to fit your car which is pointless. And i would trust ebay turbos.....i have 2 friends that bought the "fake" evo 3 16g's and they both boost fine. I just dont like ebay warranties. Because just in case they DO happen to be defective, your S-O-L....

The reason I say don't trust ebay is because not everybody can point out if it's a bolt on for your car or if you have to make your own manifold. I just prefer to buy from a shop, dsmtuner or *soon to be open* dsm trader
