It really pisses me off when I see posts where people are telling each other to just go buy the knockoff part from ebay.

...I have never seen anybody advise to buy ebay performance parts

I don't normally buy imaginary parts, but when I do, I blow my motor.

Maybe next time your buddy will build his engine to withstand 30psi so he wont have this problem.

Have a better question what happens when the known manufacturer starts making them in China to save a few bucks.

This seems to be happening with many companies.

Just because a product is made in China does not mean the quality of it is low.

There are many products made with manufacturing quality that can meet or exceed anything made domestically, the issue is consumers here are not willing to pay for such product and demand cheaper, lower priced goods.

I bought xenon headlight bulbs off ebay for like 5 bucks. Do you think my car is in danger?!!

Yea bro! Take those off ASAP otherwise everything on your car will blow up!

I agree with this. I think our society has shifted to where cheap = good

All parts are capable of breaking. eGay or not.

I've broken 2 wastegates myself and didn't blow motor. Why?
Because, 1) I peak at my boost gauge when I pin the throttle and 2) I heard the turbo whistling 10x louder than normal working its ass off.
The car isn't going to blow itself on its first pass on over boosting.
As a matter of fact, my genuine HKS bov had a pin hole in the diaphragm that I had to open and silicon after hearing compressor surge.

You're friend needs a lesson in other things first before shitting on him for buying eBay stuff.

I see what you did there.

I see where the OP is coming from. I'd rather save up and do it right or leave it alone.
