Well a friend and i drove 50 miles to a junkyard in mansfield, pa..its called Costy's. We get there and i ask to browse through the mitsubishi section. He starts giving me the whole stealing bullshit speach, so we go out and there really isnt much to chose from (i think since scrap turn-in is up right now). I come back asking if he has any mitsu turbo's in his warehouse. He said "no" and that he only carries garrett. I asked if i could have a look, and he told me to go into his warehouse and make a left. Spent 15 minutes looking around to only find 1 turbo, which was a garrett and it had as much shaft play as a turbo could ever have. So i went back in and told him i couldnt find anything on the left, and that all i found was a blown turbo. He got pisssy when i said that and hes like how do you know its blown? I replied with "that turbo has more than shaft play, 
" and his response was: "well it just needs a new bushing" Well after i laughed about that comment they didnt seem to happy. Then he got very rude saying he told me to go on the right....All i proceeded to ask was if 1 of the 3 guys sitting on stools could come give me a hand and show me where they are. I didnt personally hear this guy say this, but my friend did. This guys response was "because we have better ####ing things to do around here". - what sit on your asses and get fat? anyway, i went out there and found a 14b but it had a pretty bad crack on the wastegate passage and he was non-negotiable on the $100 price. So i passed it up mainly because of him being such a toolbag. So for those of you in PA that know any junkyards with respectable people I am searching for one. I also advise nobody to waste their time with this place. Because after i said "I'm sorry i cant justify paying $100 for a cracked exhaust housing like this has" and i said bye. He followed us out and tried to get our license plate #....i didnt understand this, but anyway..a story none the less. If any of you PA (preferrably northern to eastern PA) know of any decent junkyards to hit up please share 
or just feel free to comment.
