thats a hell of a deal. even turbos in poor shape go for more than that usually. Did you check shaft end play? Even if it spins smoothly it may still need a rebuild. Even if it does need a rebuild you still got a really good deal.

no it has normal end play and i dont think that it was used much because it was just a demonstrations motor. but i dont know what to do with the to4 exhaust side can i even get anything for that
