Ok so I went to look at what was posted as a holset turbo for $100 so I thought this might be a good deal or it might need a rebuild but I go ahead and look at it anyway. I am pretty sure this is not a holset but maybe a clone. It's a larger turbo but it only has 6 inducer blades. There were not any markings that I remember on the exhaust housing but there was a ID plate on the turbine housing. Can anyone tell me anything about this turbo or is it really worth the $100? It's way bigger than my 16g and will ###### get me closer to the 400hp goal I have for the car but I just want to get an idea of what this turbo actually is. It is super clean and no shaft play but I really don't want to slap on a eBay turbo and have it fail. The only thing that makes me think its a eBay turbo is it says turbocharger on the turbine housing
