Is this t3 any good?
I have a b18b with a snapped timing belt that i'm not using and some guy wants to trade me straight up for a t3 turbo off of a mercury? I don't know what size this t3 is, can you guys help me? is this a good deal for me? should i ask for a little cash from him? He says it has VERY little shaft play, and he's gonna meet me in person so i can check that out, but i was thinking about running about 10 psi max on my b20, more like 6-8 most of the time. would this work out alright? what are your thoughts?

Do you mean a Merkur That would be a fine turbo to use on that size motor.

that looks like a t-bird/cougar turbo. I bought one for 50 bucks. they go on ebay for under 130 bucks pretty regularly. great turbo though. I would guess that it is slightly larger than what you need but would still work great.
