bad turbo unit, bad blow off valve
the rest is all okay
bar and plate intercooler are the best thing if you don't autocross (little more laggy)

I have had VERY good success with the eBay turbo. I have heard bad things about there wastegates, and I didnt like the cheap BOV. There is not enough Intercooler piping there to get the job done.

I wouldnt trust the fittings that are supplied with these hits either. I have seen many threads of them cracking when tightening.

If you are looking for parts to turbo your 5sfe, I am selling a COMPLETE turbo kit custom designed to fit the 94-99 Celica....and it uses the same turbo you were looking into.

The kit that I am selling make 285whp and 300wtq at 16.5 psi on a STOCK LONGBLOCK. Here is the link if you are interested.

that kit is generic, the pipes will need to be cut and shaped to work

tell that to the guy who posted above you, he quite easily made 285whp and 300ftlbs @16.5psi, and drove it for a couple years, on a couple diffrent engines.
the "kit" around the turbo is pretty much usless, but the turbos do work.
are they the "best" turbo to use on a 5s? probably not, but for the price, they work quite well for the market they are geared for.

hahaha thanks Manny, didnt want to post again as I may seem bias as I (well Shannon) OWN the turbo. So coming second hand from an unbiased member should help shed some light.
