), not to mention the outlet flange isn't normal 5 bolt either. Then if that wasn't enough; the compressor inlet is bolt-on. Nobody is going to buy your POS when they can get a normal flanged .48/.42 with push-on inlet for $100 shipped.

So you don't have to give stuff away, but if you want to sell stuff you'll have to know what it's truly worth. That's like asking $10k for a CRX; it's just not gonna happen. Take that guy's $50 offer. And the turbine wheel isn't platinum just in case sarcasm>you.

I appreciate you taking the time to point out the shortcomings of my offer in an intelligent manner. However the offer still stands. I would love to get $250 for this turbo. It was part of a kit that has already been parted out and this is what i have left. $250 is the difference between what i paid and what ive made up. Do i actually think ill get that... nope. But thats not going to stop me from asking for it. "If you need 5 cents dont ask for 3, ask for 10"

To the ppl that take personal offense to me asking an outrageous price with nothing intelligent to say, my offer still stands to you as well... and no i dont have any knee pads for you to borrow.

I guarantee you'll keep that turbo for a long long time if you're expecting or even hoping top get over $100 shipped out of it. A possible solution is to get your hands on a normal T3 flanged inlet/5 bolt outlet exhaust housing off a blown T3. Then it would sell. Still not for anywhere near $250, but probably $120 plus shipping on Ebay. It's a 50 trim T3 compressor vs the 45 trim that's usually in the .48/.42's, so maybe that'll give you a selling point if you decide to get it flanged normally. Otherwise nobody is going to go through the trouble of sourcing the flanges and making a special manny and downpipe for a T3.
