Is that your new upgrade Chris?

Re: Why you should be leary of buying used turbos
 

Actually I just bought it. hahaha

Must have been a light breeze in the area.

Looks pretty good for an 80,000 mile Audi part. :)

Wow, how does that happen? You would have to use it to vacuum sand I would imagine, even my compressor wheel being let free at over 200,000 rpm doesn't look that bad...

Did he reply? What did you write? Did you ask if it boosts to redline? What are the flow charts on that puppy? :Banane55:

So it's got a little shaft play, who cares, run it!!! :Banane55:


I love the fact that he never once says anything about it needing a rebuild or that it has a problem. But I guess if you're looking at it, you should now better. :spin:

Re: Why you should be leary of buying used turbos
 

Yeah, I'm surprised he got 80k miles out of it. Probably lost the fins at 50k and didn't notice any real power difference.

Re: Why you should be leary of buying used turbos
 

^lol.

Damn that dude is selling all kinds of shit.

Re: Why you should be leary of buying used turbos
 

K03's and k04's usually only last 80k-100k either way. Less fins, less resistance/rotating mass right?

Re: Why you should be leary of buying used turbos
 

So does this one make a "dentist drill" noise? LOL.

Re: Why you should be leary of buying used turbos
 

Lol, awesome.

Bump for what he replied with from the email.
