Default Cheap big snails

I was looking around on egay and found a guy that sell diesel parts and turbo's. He's got alot of larger snails and holsets dirt cheap. I mean under 100 for mostly all his turbo's if not all. He lists the conditions and if there's any problems or damage to them. I don't know this dude personally or even online. Just found it looking around and just speading the wealth if someone is looking for a big fatty snail for dirt cheap.

HIs feed back is quite good with 99.7% and only 2 negatives from like 800 transactions. Johnny I say ditch those chrysler T3's and get these instead

bro, old diesel turbos like that arent such a great idea for our honda 4 bangers i mean look at the size of that exhaust housing, its got to be close to a 1.0 or 1.15 A/R housing, which would do a whole lot of nothing on our cars

also look at the weight.............100lbs for 2 turbos? my 35R weighs 24.4 pounds in its package from Garret,


why spend 250 on a used diesel turbo that may not work when you could spend about 350-450 and get a decent turbo that will work well and last a good while.

Plus There's a couple of people here that like the holset stuff and a couple of those didn't look to unbearably bigger for you 4 banger guys. Just trying to help.

The big exhaust housings just arent spool happy. For the d series crowd you can block one side of the twin dividers to help with spool. Thats what Jeffy did on his Dohc zc with the 1.00 housing.
