Default Buy turbonetics or not?

Going on a rear mount setup.

Turbonetics T4 T70 with 3" intake and exhaust.

Price $500 only catch is that it's a factory rebuild.

Deal or no deal?

Sounds like an alright deal to me. I would rather have a rebuilt one than a used one. All they usually is change the seals, bearings and check balancing.

if it a factory reman with a warranty then it is a good deal. As stated above it will have all new seals, any bearings that are needed and balance is checked/reset. a new one will set you back $900

Thought it sounded good! Maybe he will have some sort of papers showing that. Also found some master power turbos so if I can't get this one no worries
