need some opinions for the 15th time.......
 

alright, im going to pick up the talon saturday, and they guy gave me a choice....16g w/ some shaft play, t25 with some shaft play, or a td04(13g, i think) thats almost brand new.....which should i go with....im leaning to the td04 just because it still have some good life left in it.....even though its crappy and i think smaller thna a t25?

Re:need some opinions for the 15th time.......

buying a car thats been beat on?

Re:need some opinions for the 15th time.......
 

nope....actually the 16g came off of his mirage...the car had a t25 on it....it has a newly rebuilt(new internals and everythig, w/ receipts to prove it)6bolt cyclone 4g63t in it w/ 3 in exhaust and new(again all papers to prove)xfer case and axles.....swap has less than 200miles on it(again all the papers ive seen back this up), AWD of course, for $3100, but im gonna offer about 2900 or so because of the turbo situation.....

Re:need some opinions for the 15th time.......
 

16g.. and tell him you'll give him the $3100 if it has a good turbo :P

Re:need some opinions for the 15th time.......
 

A turbo with "Horrid shaft" play, has probably had part of the wheel removed from hitting the housing, but If you want to go real fast thats the biggest turbo of the three but it'll cost$$$ to get it rebuilt

Re:need some opinions for the 15th time.......
 

don't waste your time with those smaller turbos, get a 60 trim t3.

Re:need some opinions for the 15th time.......
 

get the working turbo to get moving. you can upgrade later on and sell it. even a small turbo will produce boost and you'll have fun.

Re:need some opinions for the 15th time.......
 

yea as soon as i sell my civic im gonna pay off a loan and dump the rest of the money into this project, probably gonna upgrade the turbo/fuel/and put a fmic on it, thats about what ill have enough left to do
