Question picked up this turbo for $100 anyone know if its worth a crap?

Part # e8hz6k682crm

Bought it off my buddy for 100 bucks he didn't know much about it but it's a garrett and I believe its off of a 7.8 ford diesel

Anyone know if it would be worth a crap for a mild boost setup?

Probably a 7.3l Powerstroke. Has an internal gate in it. Think it's around 52mm compressor. As for using it on an ls, probably too small. Someone else will know more about it than me.

Sounds like you need to find a better buddy.

Thats pretty small for a V8, unless you wanted to autocross. It probably wouldn't make more than 450 HP but you'd have 900 ft-lbs WAY down low lol.

If you happen to find another one for dirt cheap, then you could do a twin set-up.
