Ok how does this turbo look? I was told there is only 200 miles on it. Its a precision gt3255E. How could i go about cutting off the elbow piece as i do not need it?

Any shaft play?

i don't know. I only know what i've mentioned. I'll ask though (this turbo would be shipped to me, its kinda far away from my location.

Maybe it's just me, but those inducer fins look like they are ground down. Could just be the pic. As for the compressor elbow, I'm sure you could use a small cut off wheel. It's only aluminum, so it should cut easily.

Looks to be in good shape from what i can see. Why was it only run for 200 miles?Was it 200miles track time.just kidding. looks like a nice turbo

Seller said that he had the turbo on his car for 200 miles and then had problems with the title to his car.

dsmboostin15: i thought so too thats why i made this thread. since i have pretty much no way of seeing it besides driving 2 hours i cant really see it in person

From what I can see, it looks good.

Cut the elbow off with a hacksaw but leave the weld on the housing. The weld will double as a bead to help retain your new coupler.

looks pretty good to me too. definatley find out if there is any shaft play.
