what a ebay turbo??? if your talkin about buying one from ebay its a toss up. if it comes remaned or bew your prob gonna be ok but if its used from some joe schmo its prob gonna need to be rebuilt. rebuild kits are usually fairly cheap and it doesnt take much to do it. if it is a used one aske for pics of the housing opening to make sure there isnt cracks. if your unsure of what to look for post the link so someone here can look at it.

those would be good but read up and make sure you get the correct trim and a/r ratios or it wont spool like its suposed too and you may never get the power where you can use it.

what are you trying to do with this truck???
