New here and putting together my first DSM in 12 years, so for let's just pretend I know nothing. I'm looking for a big evo 3 16g turbo and found this one, but can't tell if its a real one or not. Any help would be appreciated.

If it does check out I'm going to go pick it up Monday, what if any is considered normal shaft play? Its supposedly only installed and never used.
 
Tiny bit of in/out play, no up and down play or next to none. Look inside the oil ports for build up, shouldn't have any if it is new. They go for $600 or less new so don't take any chances. Guy might have blown his rebuilt motor and there might be metal in the turbo. You can save it if you take it apart and clean it, replace bearings, thrust plate, seals etc. Only worth it for a steal imo.
 
If it hasent to been used that's a good price. They were cheaper a couple of years ago, around 600, but when the sunami or what ever hit japan f'ed shit up there, and then there prices went up.
 
Well sense I'm on a roll of good answer here, the turbo was installed on a 2nd gen. I'm putting it on 1st. Any major concerns there? I read they use a 2nd gen adapter kit, which I'm assuming I can take off.
