Default Price of a evo 8 turbo?

Ok, I can get a brand new evo 8 turbo on the cheap but i never see any for sale.
So the question is, what do these dam things go for and would it be worth 100 bucks?

Looks just like this but its real.

Yes. Solid choice for a LS, D-series, and B16 because of the small turbine wheel and twin scroll turbine housing and compressor is good for something like 400whp+. GSR and ITR would probably be a lot of fun under 6000rpm but after that, turbine restriction would probably occur. If you were looking for something to road race with and had either engines it probably would work pretty well if you increased boost based on rpm.

I see them going for $250 (the real Evo 8 ones, not ching chong ripoffs that die in 100miles) all the time on DSMtrader and H-T etc. If you can get a good one for $100 jump on that ----.

Every 10 lb/min is equal to 144.72 cfm

400whp wouldn't be much of an issue if the turbine wheel wasn't so small.

If it's real, jump on that ----. Only thing is the twin scroll exhaust inlet flange is funky if your thinking of making a manifold for it.
