It depends on who you buy them from ,i have sold 2 x turbo's on ebay and the 1st bloke had me pay the postage to france and the 2nd bloke said it was the best £150 he spent on a brand new turbo. I also bought a vf28 turbo off there which had covered 40 k and was in better condition than any other vf28 turbo i have since seen advertised.
My advice is to check the out the person selling the turbo ,and if in doubt ,arrange to meet them and cash on collection,best way imho and you can see what your paying your money for.

I have recently enquired about a couple of the '400hp rated' 20g turbos on ebay - When i asked the sellers if they would warranty the units if I run them at over 1.5Bar in order to acheive somewhere in the region of their claimed power output, you can guess what the answer was...

I ordered one that was advertised as coming from Bath, turned out it shipped from Taiwan, meaning it was almost certainly a copy, and I was sprung for tax and customs duty on import. Midnight's advice is good

if a 16 g big could make 370 - 420 bhp why would any one by6 a 18g 0r a 20g or is a 16 g big just another name for a 20g and even a 20g with 8cm housing for a 2.5 engine would be at a push top make 420 bhp my 20g with a 7 CM housing only made 390bhp on v power and to be fair that was on a very cold winters day and i reckon its more like 380bhp ... oh and yeah dont waste your money on ebay item get a proper company in the uk to make you one andy f , cr turbos scooby clinic and so on : >
