So this is kinda of a off topic question. I have a turbo (non-watercooled), manifold, and turbo head with cam. I was going to turbocharge my car but decided against it for two reasons, first it's in really good shape (93 with 50K) and I'm sure it would really drop the resale value if I "added" a turbo.
So were moving now and I have this 80 pound (turbo-18 manifold-15 head-38) hunk of iron and Ebay pops in my head ;-) First i decided i would ask you guys if you were interested in it, since i like you guys more then Ebay. Next would be, what kinda of money are we talking about for shipping this beast? I mean, 80 pounds is no small puppy... I was going to sell it all together since it a nice set, but the shipping cost.... So do you think i should seperate them? a.k.a sell the turbo and mani then sell the head in another aution? This is the first time i have ever put anything this large on Ebays, so any hints would be great.
Thanks,
Blake

Hmmm....very interested but I'll have to think about a price to offer for the parts.

FedEx wants about 40 bucks for ground shipping to here. I'm was just interested in the turbo and manifold but it would be a good idea to have the head just in case - also would be better for you to sell the whole shebang and be done with it.

How well does the turbo spin? Any play? Water cooled was my first choice but I'm interested.

The turbo spins freely, there is some play, but I already know it needs to be rebuilt. I found a rebuild kit that has all of the gaskets, thrust bearings, and all of the bolts one would need, right at 100 bucks. But the rotor has no nicks, no dents. Blow off vaule has been tested and works. I checked all of the oil passages and none have been blocked, this turbo wasn't burned up. There was a sign of oil inside the intake side, which might explain why this turbo ended up in the junk yard. The cause is a riped seal, which is why I stress that this turbo needs to be rebuilt. Any other questions, ask me. If you want pictures, give me your e-mail.

I know i have had to send some heavy stuff and fed-ex was the cheapest. Im not sure if it would be cheaper to send it seperated or not. If that helps?where you located? Jeremy
