I got a T70 on the way. I figure, as long as they can SPELL turbo lol it shouldnt be too bad. I was reading through some of the auctions and one of them made me laugh. Contact the guys and make sure they now the trims, housing types, etc even the boot type. I asked one guy and he couldnt even spell turbo and there where like 20 auctions for the same exact turbo. It alwasy comes down to reading the bid very carfullly. sometimes you find a gold nugget and sometimes you find a turd. you gotta be carful.

Some have and some haven't. Both with the same outcome... It surprisingly lasted people years. Enough to make me buy one...
