      Can't remember. I was more worried bout the specs of the unit at the time.
      I am getting it from my tuning guy.

        I'd be concerned about the brand. Ebay turbos are known to grenade in a fairly short amount of time ;)

        Good brands = Garrett (arguably the best), Master Power, Precision, Turbonetics, HKS

          it came from a rear mount kit on another camaro. I am curious why do the ebay turbos fail? made cheaply? what makes the brand names better?

                  So i should be headed over to my tuning guys place tommarow to pick up my new turbo. And i lucked out to because it turned out to be a Turbonetics 62-1. I was all worried after you told me to look for name brand stuff. I cant wait to get this show on the road. Pics will be up as soon as i get some taken.
