Default 2nd Gen T25 turbo..doesnt need rebuild how much is it worth

My friend has a T3 from either a volvo or saab its a .42/.48. And, it may be good to just run immideately but, i wanna rebuild it soo its like new. b/c he said he doesnt know if it needs a rebuild or not. how much should i offer him. im guessin about $20, since i can go pullapart and get them for $39.

****- coming in next post.

Ummm dude that's a T25 off of a 2g DSM. You need to know your turbo's alittle bit more.

ok. i was wondering why the flange was different n the place where the intercooler piping was curved like tht. now i feel like a dumb ***. and i feel even stupider b/c i know damn t3 flage doesnt have a round opening.

Even though its a DSM T25 it still worth $20 or so...send it off to Blaast for a rebuild...probably cost you about $200 after shipping and all and you'd have a fresh turbo which will spool insanely fast on a LS...probably be fun for a DD but not a high HP set-up...
