im lookin at this turbo, any input good? bad? worth it?

Re: this turbo any good?
 

The guy doesn't know how to spell worth a shit in an ad where he is trying to sell something so that would make me kind of cautious. Not sure why he has 35R and T70 on there either. Not a bad price though, I would maybe get more info from him and see if you can see the turbo in person before buying it, and don't feel obligated to buying it if you see it and the thing ends up being a turd.

ha. ya i for sure want to see it before i make a decision

Re: this turbo any good?
 

If you meet up with him make sure you ask him which one it is. A 35r or t70.. :rolleyes:

Re: this turbo any good?
 

I can't read the part# on that plate very good, maybe that would tell something. But the specs he listed aren't complete enough to tell much about the turbo.

A GT35 turbo and GT35R turbo are also usually quite different.

Re: this turbo any good?
 

Well it isn't a 35R as it is a journal bearing turbo.

Used turbos are bad, mkay?

Be very leary.

Re: this turbo any good?
 

The only number that comes up as anything on a quick Google search is the T04E17.

Why buy some piece of crap turbo when you can buy a known good one from reputable members here that are actually made for DSM's?

Re: this turbo any good?
 

well thats what i wanted to know, if it was really worth goin out and gettin a turbo like this. and seeing all you guys say this guy has no clue what he is saying and i texted him and asked him some questions, and he treated me like i was a idiot. so dont think ill even waste my time.
but thanks guys!!

Re: this turbo any good?
 

Wow, that's a good way to get people to buy things from you... Treat them like an idiot. Maybe I should try that next time I have something to sell. Hahaha

Re: this turbo any good?
 

ha ya for sure. i felt like tellin him to jump off a bridge

Re: this turbo any good?
 

If you're willing to step up a a bit, I've got a mint condition FP3575 turbo for sale. Bolts on the stock manifold, you'll need a custom 02 housing though. $800. Lots of people here can attest that I take care of my stuff, this thing is like new.
