Re: help with buying used turbo

Shaft play and chipped/bent fins. Even then I would never buy a used turbo.. I bought a 35r from someone and it had ZERO shaft play and the wheel was in PERFECT shape. When I had Primo take it apart to ceramic coat the exhaust side they found that the exhaust side fins were all torn up and you couldn't even tell with the cover on.. Long story short and $880 later I ended up with a new turbo center section.
