Has anybody used this turbo kit from ebay for the ford 2.3? Reply #1 – September 24, 2007, 06:20:41 PM Is the seller's name "SS AUTO CHROME"?If so, be careful. I've heard a lot of negative stuff from the guys on NATO about that seller. It may be something about the quality of the turbo and/or header. Quote Selected
Has anybody used this turbo kit from ebay for the ford 2.3? Reply #2 – September 24, 2007, 06:50:41 PM No it says the sellers name is 98mkiv but I have been advised not to buy a turbo from ebay that isn't name brand but the whole kit is less than $500. Which isn't a bad price for all the hardware even if I don't use the turbo. Quote Selected

Has anybody used this turbo kit from ebay for the ford 2.3? Reply #5 – September 24, 2007, 09:03:34 PM I can understand the turbo cuz it's petty much universal but why would a 2.3 ford turbo manifold be made in china? Not sayin its not possible just figured most of the stuff from china was mass produced and I don't see these very often. Like I said I know better than to use a non brand name turbo but would it not be fine to use the manifold and the hardware either? Quote Selected
