    I have a 2010 2.0 a5 and am looking at upgrading to a k04.
    Is it worth the $600 difference for something like the CTS k04 vs an ebay xspower

    CTS $1350
    XS Power $630

    I guess maybe people will chime in who have purchased eBay turbos, but my belief when it comes to something like a turbo is that you get what you pay for. That said, I have seen examples of ebay turbochargers working quite well, but I'd still personally avoid buying one for my own vehicles.

    I would never take the chance, it's not that much to go BW or CTS. I did the APR with BW and never looked back, but that was 3500.
