gt28rs dual ball bearing....please read

[nicknorth11]

sorry to post this here, but i didn't know where else to put it. i have a gt28rs dual ball bearing turbo and i love it, but i bought it not intending to do much to my engine. the next thing i know i'm rebuilding the entire thing. so now i have an engine that can handle a LOT more power and i'm looking to buy a turbo that can make more than 350hp. the turbo only has about 50 miles on it. absolute immaculate condition. with the flange and downpipe with it so it bolts right on. i paid a small fortune for it. a total of about $1700. any idea how much i can get for it? would it be worth it to sell it and get something else or should i just keep it? any thoughts are appreciated....(except people being mean.)
THANX

It looks like the mod bug got you bad!

The most that you can get off your used turbo will be around 80% of your investment, factoring in depreciation and slight use. With Slowboy and FP selling their dual-BB turbos at approx. $1200 new, I think alot of them would want to buy new unless they find a deal.

I recommend to keep the turbo. You can get more out of it now that your engine is built. Dont forget to fortify your tranny to keep up with your mods.

Dont forget to post pics. I sure do wont to see your setup.
