[somdturbo]

As the title says... biagio turbo

A friend of mine called me and asked if i heard of it. I told him no, not even online. So i went to look at it. A friend of his bought it off new of the 240sx forums and said it was too big for him. So now my friend owns it... (he paid $400 w/ new gaskets)

Details

-4" inlet
-2.5" exhaust side 4 bolt o2 flanged
-Garret / t3 housing
-Seems to have that variable vein technology (similar to the holsets)

i'm hoping to post some pictures tonight or tomorrow so you guys can check it out.

question is - has anyone ever heard of this turbo? good or bad?
