Just Bought Used Turbo, Questionable Conditon

[A//// Guy]

That doesnt look good. Brand new ones are cheap now, did you look around before you bought that one?

You also have to realize once spending $500-600 on a new turbo you still need to pay for the porting and a larger WG flapper. IF that turbo were in actual 750-mile condition then $500 would have been a good deal. I think I sold mine for $450 with 2 years on it.

Yea that is true. Who needs porting? ;)

DON'T PUT THAT ON YOUR CAR. :ohmy:

Isn't that the compressor side? That thing is seriously fucked up. Looks like it sucked in a socket.

Dude just got back to me. He seems cool about it. Said he didnt realize the damage. Says we can work something out. Im gunna see if hes willing to send back enough for a rebuild /w a new wheel. Any ideas on the cost and who can do it for cheap?

LoL...im trying not to get real pissed here and your not helping. :stick:

IMO, just ask for your money back. A normal turbo rebuild runs $300 from FP plus the cost of a new wheel and whatever else may be damaged in there. I say eat the cost to ship it back (~$19 via USPS) and get the remaining $481 returned to you.
