Ebay Turbo
Anyone know anything about this turbo??? It seems like a really good deal, but I haven't gotten the specs yet. Ebay item 8018739347<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR bgColor=#d6dcfe><TD noWrap align=right></TD><TD align=right></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

if i were to replace my turbo with another stock unit, i would buy one of those. i have been searching for van turboes every week, and there is always one of these on ebay. they look to be very well ported, the intake tract looks incredible. good price too.

Yeah, I've also been looking for van turbos but they never have any. I have found ones at junkyards for about $275 but I'm still in search for a lower price. If this is just as good as the van turbo w/ a ATS Housing I figure the ebay one would be a better deal. Van Turbo + ATS Housing = about $700. I'll try to ask the seller the sizes of the housings.

you are probably right, but according to the auction-
"HI TODAY FOR AUCTION WE HAVE A FRESLY BUILT GARRETT PN. 1831383C92 FORD 7.3 LITERS POWERSTROKE PERFORMANCE TURBOCHARGER, THIS TURBOCHARGER HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY REBUILT AND BALANCED, THIS TURBO HAS BEEN FULLY PORTED ON THE COMPRESSOR INLET FOR MORE AIR FLOW, THAT MEAN THAT THIS TURBO WILL PUMP MORE AIR TO YOUR ENGINE AND YOUR ENGINE WILL PRODUCE MORE TORQUE AND POWER

Please excuse a dumb question, but I'm serious. What is PORTED when it comes to turbos? I am not even sure what the term PORTED really means. What would be the difference between this turbo and a truly ported turbo?
