Very Cheap Charge pipe from Taiwan!
Lately, I have been looking to upgrade my charge pipe. Mainly a protective measure so I don't have to deal with a broken CP since am running more boost.
Am not looking to spend $300+ on this thing. So, is it a good idea to buy some cheap CP off Ebay like the one below? just in case if I below mine I can replace it quickly! |

Why you go cheap if you are looking for upgrade?
PM me your location and I'll hook you up on a good product at a good price. So you won't regret it.

OP, sounds like you're torn/wanting help with your conscience to upgrade at rock bottom prices.
On one hand, you yourself called it a "cheap eBay" find, which means you don't have a lot of confidence in it to begin with. You said it was for insurance in case the stock unit cracks. If you really want it to keep on hand as a backup so that downtime is minimized, go for it. Absolutely would be cheap insurance. I personally doubt the stock unit would fail unless you're constantly at WOT every single day. Now if you're looking to upgrade for the look of shiny metal vs black plastic or any perceived perf increase, then as others have said, spend a little more for proven fit/finish since you're going to spend time/money installing it. You've already spent some money on a tune since you said you're running higher boost so why not invest in a better unit? The eBay one may have questionable welds/build quality, etc. so do you really want to receive it and spend time taking out the stock unit just to discover the new one is just a tad bit off? Ben's already offered to hook you up, so I'd take him up on it. Red flag to me on the actual eBay item is that they are offering Best Offer on the $120 listing, which means they'll prob take $80 for it. That calls into question the quality (at least for me).

That makes me feel better. Leaning towards not getting this thing, there are no other benefits after all.

I had it on mine with all of those mods, it help the boost delivery since aluminum pipe doesn't expend under high pressure of boost.
