ebay turbo vs turbochargerpros turbo for 525

**monkeytime** · 10-16-2008 04:24 PM

Hey guys maybe someone can help me I have noticed a huge stock of ko3 stock audi turbos on ebay for about 299 free shipping and then I noticed www.turbochargerpros.com selling a turbo for 525 free shipping and I chatted with him for a while and he also stated his turbo is from tawain and the person turbos on ebay are from china.. so I guess my qs is does anyone know what I should go with or do you think the guy from www.turbochargerpros.com is trying to sell exact turbo that they sell on ebay for 299 ? Any info would be great. I just need a stock replacement that Audi wont bitch about when installing and without spending 800 on oem audi ko3 turbo!

Don't take a risk on that nonsense, get a used k03 from the classifieds, it's cheaper too.

Its has to be new guys or trust me I would have I been looking and posting for days well today my customer says get new so thats what im doing :)

it might be new but it's a knockoff which means it'll leave you broken down on the side of the road, guaranteed

How will they know if its new or not lol.... Well if you run a shop you better get oem

dont run a shop but just helping a friend out :)

Now why would you put a chinese turbo in your German car?

BTW dont expect Audi to install a non OEM turbo.

yeah, if it has to be new, don't get it from asia.
