Just bought a used turbo, did i get a good deal?

[toxicity883]

Im a little new to the turbo world, this is only my second turbo car and Ive never heard anything about Borg Warner t3/t4 but I'm assuming its better than my Turbonetics hybrid. I only want to run between 17 and 20 psi and i have the supporting fuel mods.

i paid $260 for it and they claimed it had less than 500 miles on it before they upgraded to a straight t4.

That's a bad ass turbo man.. Their very reliable and you can make a ton of power with it.

thanks alot i forgot to add its a 57 trim

i would have to say you pretty much raped them on that deal. it looks clean. and you can defiantely put down good numbers with those turbos

Check it for shaft play before you put it on, but it should be good. Looks like it's in good shape, both wheels look good, and it's very clean, should treat you well.

your doing all of this to a 420a?

 

[toxicity883]

the engine can handle it, view whats been done.

well whats in the process of being done... this is my second dsm my first one suffered from the dreaded shaft play, but i loved dsms so i decided to try out the 420a ill be posting build pics when i get the block back from the machine shop

what are you doing with your turbonetics turbo?

 

[toxicity883]

im not sure yet, its on another gs that is at my parents house in Texas, im working for a fire prevention company in Colorado right now, but i will probably be selling it and my greddy t3 first chance i get

Looks like you got a very good deal on a good turbo.
Good luck with the build.

Definitely keep us updated with pics of this build. I am looking at doing something similar to my car so will be nice to see it done.

ive always heard of them refereed to as bullsye, and up until about 6 months ago the only thing id built on was dirt track engines. Im learning about the turbo world as i go, and i have to say this site has been very helpful

they are very good turbochargers and are know for their quality. Some supra owners use their S-series turbos and love them.
