Will it be less expensive? No. Cost of admission is not your total expense; cheap parts WILL BREAK MUCH MORE OFTEN, and will cause more damage when they go. Would you rather replace the ebay turbo 5 times a year, or a quality turbo once every 5-10 years?
When the expensive turbo does go, you'll likely have to have the seals in the turbo replaced. When the cheap turbo goes, you'll be replacing whatever else it breaks with its catastrophic failure. Do you see what we're playing at here? The expensive part is not the initial buy in. You may want to roll your eyes at every forum post on the internet, by that one guy with a 3641 post count and a smug avatar, that advises "Do it right the first time". There's a reason there's one of them for every 50 10 post eBay warriors; because doing it right gives them the time to post. EBay warriors are out trying to fix their car still.

Its my car so I can choose to put whatever Brand Name parts I want. If I choose to go all ebay Chinese parts thats my decision. I'm not asking for suggestions for what turbos are good. Never once did I say I was going with cheap Ebay parts. However I did say I was on a budget.
