be VERY careful with ebay turbo stuff. theres a company that keeps changing its name that had glued on compressor housings, turbos that would randomly lock up/explode, crappy customer service, etc.

There is a guy out of St Louis on ebay that is the cheapest and I would highly recommend. Look up PT-88 that's how I found him. He told me 1350 so It should be similar price.

Dude you didn't even click on his link.... It's a P76GTS, not some chinese bullshit.

Looks like a good price, but I don't know how ideal the A/R is on that unit...

-edit- Actually that's not the best pick with that 402 that you have... if you have to stay T4 flanged, I would only look at the PTE-88.

Yeah that's the problem you run into with them. They seem to be really busy. When I call a company if they can't hire someone to talk to me besides a answering machine I find some where else to spend my money.

I understand they are busy but a call back that took 2 seconds to let me know they got my message and they will be in touch isnt much to ask . I even sent PM's to them .

Hope they decide to reach me.
