I'm concerned about fitment. Anyone heard about these?

turbo stuff off of E-Bay??? Be careful bro, I've heard bad stories about turbo stuff and them. But something from a company, so if it doesn't work, you can send it back!

hmm I guess I should stay away then.. I also found one made by Top Speed, never heard of them though.

How bout this one?

Or should I just go with a reputable company like GReddy? Its $$$ though for such a small piece!

just get the greddy one and call it a day.

i would look at the sellers feedback and look for som1 who has already purcahsed it..
there is a sil180sx in his feedback that left good feedback.
I would contact him and ask if it work blah blah blah.

eBays not that bad.. just some bastard sellers out there make a bad name for everyone else.

I bought one just like that for $35 went to put it on and saw its exactly the same as the stock one. The easy way to tell is that the aftermarket piece has 2 ports on the 02 housing on the turboside
