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

**goodhart** · 03-09-2010

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

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

**Shane@DBPerformance** · 03-09-2010

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.

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

DSM_brother2 · 03-09-2010

TkrPerformance · 03-09-2010

Used turbos are bad, mkay?

Be very leary.

Kevin 1G Drummer · 03-09-2010

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?

Kevin 1G Drummer · 03-09-2010

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

DSM_brother2 · 03-09-2010

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.
