good sise good price good buy. just make sure it spins freely and the wastegate opens good. alot of times these guys will restore a turbo to were it will just barely spin and then sell it but it looks like tehre is a warrenty. so you should be ok just make sure to get in touch with the seller.

Good luck finding a new turbo thats not from XS power for 300.

This is what you need to do. Stay on ebay keep looking if your serious about your project then your going to have to wait anyway. give it a few months and youl find a turbo from a private dealer that will be about that price and in good condition i guarntee you. as for the brown tops. I would like to say yes but Im not 100% sure.

yea but if you buy from a private dealer you have a greater chance of gettin ripped off n i dont have the money for a new turbo then lose out. just kinda want a person with a good reference to make sure it all goes smoothly

best place to buy a turbo is from an authorized dealer. I buy Garrett turbos from Precision Turbo.

not if you stay on ebay. and do your homework. make sure that to check refrences and feedbacks.

it works I scored a fully rebuilt kkk turbo internally gated for only 175 with shiping.

Dillon, don't just pick any old turbo, make sure you match the turbo with your motor and powerband. You don't want anything too big or too small. Just a tip for you.

Dillon, I'll put it to you this way and take my advice...

If you are not financial stable, don't attempt a turbo setup. There is lots of money that goes into this and even if you did have it setup, there could be sudden problems that might come up and you need to have the $ to fix it.

Also, if you don't know much about turbo setups, keep doing research and don't jump into this. I did ALOT of research, asking questions and posting and I didn't even finish buying all my parts. You want to know what you're getting into and not totally cheaping out. One reason I know you don't know as much about turbos is that you're "thinking" about having an intercooler...there is no thinking about it...DO IT! You're running hot exhaust air right back into your motor by not having an intercooler which will result in heat soak and overheating.

Take my advice bro...you don't want to regret anything or mess anything up. Good Luck.
