Looks like a T04B cover; not sure what compressor wheel is behind it.

You need to get some specifics about the turbo- there is no such thing as a ".68 trim" Garrett, so if the seller doesn't know anything about the turbo he's selling I wouldn't buy it. Some guys will inflate potential horsepower numbers just to make their item sell....like the eBay knockoff blowoff valves that claim they can hold 1200hp or 30psi when in reality they will leak at 20psi. Besides, who the hell is making 1200hp at 30psi?

I don't like journal bearing Garrett-based turbos, so I wouldn't take it even if it was $100.

That manifold looks really, really dramatic in the pictures.

O my bad its 60trim agp turbo i messed that up. But does the turbo manifold look good?

Yea that manifold looks insane. Who built it for him? Any receipts or paperwork to show the specs of the turbo?

Word. If your spending several hundreds of dollars on a turbo, your going to have the paperwork on it. If he doesnt, steer the f away from it.
