0 feedback? I wouldn't have anything to do with it, for that price you can buy a new turbo from a real company.

hmmm, i dont know... its nota bad price... has he ran it at all? Wheel spins fine wiht no wobble or "scratch type of sound?

Im so if'y about ebay that i tend to second guess the deals i see there to begin with.. call the seller, and see whats up, won't hurt to try. IF you have that kind of money and need a turbo that size, you can try a s80/s78 or pte88, s88, that garret is a good turbo but check its compressor map before getting to serious about it.

Thats a big sized turbo...what combo isi going on? If our looking for a big T6 turbo like that, i have a slightly smaller one for sale in the Forsale section.

Its a GT42-76 (76mm turbo) with T6 1.15 A/r turbine. Good for 1200hp.

with a internal waste gate pre-set at 34.5 psi. I would say that turbo is for a big diesel engine...

hmmm.....i wonder what's the deal with all that grinding-off of the compressor housing? why grind the name/brand? I'd say it's just a turbo from a big semi-truck.

Of course it could be used, but for $1000 why not just get the right turbo for your application from a reputable company that will stand behind their product
