I don't trust ebay turbos, unless, there's a name behind it and they ususally don't come in "kits". A turbo isn't something you want to go cheap.
There's really only a few "kits" that I would recommend and those are the Star kits, Greddy, HKS, and Hahn kits.
Eclipse/Avenger Star turbo kit install..

Not if you keep the boost down and below at least 10psi. If you've got an automatic, then I would suggest getting a higher stall torque converter, LSD, and shift kit.
If you plan on going higher than 10psi, get the motor rebuilt with forged internals and lower the compression.
One thing to keep in mind at all times is that these motors, I4/V6 are getting old. Those internals are probably tired. Before boosting an old motor, make sure that it's running strong first with no leaks because forced induction will create more pressure and make small leaks even bigger and if it's not running strong, it will weaken it even more.
