Is a Bosch/Mahle turbo worth any thought?

[Breezio69]

So, I've been watching an ad locally for a Bosch/Mahle turbo in a rather decent size. Its got a t3/t4 divided exhaust housing, .60 a/r and .84 a/r. Never ran. Still has all the install gaskets in the original plastic wrap.

Just wondering if its worth the small amount he wants. Its slowly been lowered into ebay price ranges from $500, but looking through some online pricing its around a $600+ turbo from a retailer.

Thoughts? There isnt much on it, all my searches show mahle pistons.

Thanks!

This is the best I have, the ad I'm looking at is through an app and won't let me get a link for it. Here is a screenshot.

Found link, but no serial number to identify. I did some research and apparently Bosch/Mahle have a joint venture on some products and they make turbos to fit CAT, Cummins, Gm, VW/Audi and some other diesel platforms.

Most of the ones i saw have a blue serial number plaque on the housing...
.84 turbine housing is kinda slow on spool for this size turbo, im assuming you will have to get a dsm turbine housing ?

I did find all that on the website. I was kind of disappointed I couldn't find the exact turbo for more specs on the website.
