would you buy this turbo

[jpmxrider489]

im currently looking to upgrade my turbo to either a 14b or a 16g. for 150 i found a 14b with all the parts. for 230 i found a 16g with all parts. both are completly rebuilt. i also found a 16g with all parts for 175 which is a deal BUT it has shaftplay the size of a finger nail and has a slight crack. sould i keep saving to get the 16 for 230 or get the used one. what are your opinions

Try getting in touch with Austin turbo sales! 14b / 16g / 20g etc rebuilt - DSM Classifieds

he has the ones that are rebuilt. but what is your opinion of getting the 16g taht has some shaft play and a crack.

Where is the crack and what is a "fingernails worth of play"? Personally I'd just take a good core as you are going to spend at least $40 for a rebuild kit and the housing could be trashed depending on the crack and how deep it goes.

I would contact Justin (JusMX141) about turbos if you need more sources.

just as Liquid stated you will probably have to rebuild it which can be $40 or more. Also with a crack something may need to be replaced. By the time that turbo is fixed, you would have spent more than buy a rebuilt one

Get the rebuilt 16g. Saved time, $, effort = profit. Done.

I agree...why run through the heart ache when the rebuilt one is complete.sometimes it's worth the extra cash.That's experience talking.

Or save a few more dollars and get a brand new 16g from say... Forced Performance that you know is good... Not "rebuilt" or was ....

Big 16G is the way to go. Turbo is awesome.
