So, I bought My first Z about 2 months ago and it came with a "new" NA motor and a set of new turbos with the turbo plenums. My plan originally was to rebuild the engine and turbo it. However, after I tore the engine down, I discovered that the turbos I got are $150 knock off t25s. I decided I didn't want to risk using those, but I don't have the budget to add a set of legit turbos, so I was just going to keep it NA. Then I went and ordered a rebuild kit for the engine, but when I got it, I realized I accidentally ordered the turbo pistons... Awesome.
So, my dilemma now is. Do I just send it and rock the sketchy amazon turbos or just return them and stay NA. What do y'all think?

Ever since our family car was written off a few weeks ago, I've been working on deciding what to replace it with.
I've finally decided on a S-Type, but would welcome advice and feedback from anyone who's owned one or even is in the trade.
I know the pre-2004 cars have build and reliability issues, but the later cars are supposed to be quite good.
It would be good to hear which model you owned, engine size and what issues, if any, you have had.
Also, has anyone owned the 4.2 V8 model? Any issues and what's it like on fuel?
Thanks and much appreciated.
