Since no one wants to help you in a productive way, i will 
When dealing with turbos you wanna make sure you know what your getting EXACTLY so your not playing the "what do i got" game later.
The deal with ebay is theres alot of cannon fodder you gotta wade through. If you dont know turbos at all or even Forced induction... PLEASE research first. It will save you tons of time.
Google junkyard turbos and read that for starters.
If you know what you want and know turbos relativly well, I wtill recommend reading it just to refresh your memory. Its actually a good read. Go on google it... go ahead im waiting lol
But no seriously, look it up, it helps.
As for ebay, its like playing minesweep for the first 3 or 4 turns, you dont know what your gonna get. forest Gump also comes to mind
READ the items carfully. A T70 turbo can have all kinds of different wheels in them. Depending on the configureation, you can have one that boosts lower in the RPM giving you a broader Torque curve, but limits your power. You can also have one that comes on strong later (like evos) where it puts your *** in the backseat and hold on for deal life, but the power comes on later and suddenly (lag anyone?) in the RPM range.
Read the junkyard tubo thing and it will clearify it for you.
There are alot of JUNK turbos on ebay that most liky wont last long and will have you paying more in the long run then paying the initial amount for a quality one. Now if you do get a GOOD used one, ensure its not broken or excessily worn.

Lol it's a Mustang. Probably a mid 14 second car stock so 12s on a 70mm isn't bad.
= ??? Have you run one of these before? Know anyone that has? The only people I have EVER heard from that actually know people that run those turbos say they aren't actually too bad.
ebay turbo + junk
