Has anyone had any experience of the new turbos available on ebay?
£130 new or a second hand one for £50?
For A2 AMF
 
From what I've read/seen they turbo like a turbo would turbo.

Main issue i can see is quality and longevity, wouldn't want turbo shrapnel flying around the intake. With them being no brand no name parts arguing for compensation would be unlikely.

There are a few videos of people using them on scrap cars and seem to work and do the boost - wouldn't trust it on anything else.
 
No specific stories. Just a matter of principle and integrity. I regard the A2 as a true modern classic car, so I am proud to keep all original and OEM, just like the day it rolled out of the factory ;)

Fair enough i try to do the same. i was changing some bits on Mrs. Fiat 500 and honestly the knock off china parts are better quality than OEM.
