Yuck, no. Your car is your son and/or daughter, i would avoid used anything as much as possible. Quality over Quantity

I'd say depends on the condition of it and the price. I'm running a "used" M112 on my car. I'm also hoping to locate a "used" Whipple in the next month or so to finish my upgrade.

Exactly. If it's in good condition, I see no reason to not use it (unless you happen to be one of those "everything's gotta be brand new and brand name" type people). Just because something's new doesn't mean it's good, and just because something's used doesn't mean it's bad... an ebay turbocharger might be new, but I'd never let one come close to my engine bay.

I went with new just to be safe...I did think about getting a used one, but it seemed sketchy to me. Also with a new one you have warranty!! I've already been through 2 turbos haha, on my third and have only had to payed for one.
