Guys, I'm getting a t25 for 30$ from a friend.

Looks clean, no evidence of leaking turbine or compressor seals which tells me there's no shaft play.


The car it came from was tuned PERFECTLY....look at the white carbon on the inside of the turbine housing and on the turbine wheel!

I am curious why the previous owner blocked off the boost source on the compressor housing....this is the most reliable source for boost providing the most accurate and responsive wastegate action.

I have no idea why he did that, I know shit about turbos.
He said theres no play at all.
So would you pay 30$ for this even though it's a t25
 
Looks good.
Just remember white carbon can also come from Race fuels...

Ummm....if you're pushing a T25 to the point where you require race fuel, you're retarded. :D


I normally pay up to $50 for rebuildable T25 cores as long as there's no wheel damage, so you're getting a deal. The most I ever sold a rebuilt T25 for.....$305 plus shipping on eBay. Honda guys eat 'em up; they'll take a T25 over a 14B!
