about to buy a turbo from a kid and need opinions
i was at a car show and a friend of a friends was selling a obx t4 big turbo, a inline pro Manifold and a ebay waste gate on it. the turbo had no shaft play and was ran for 1500 miles until he took it off to sell the car, he wants 500 for the set up, think thats a legit price or am i paying too much

I'm sure you can find better deals than that. Full T4.. what size? you may consider properly sizing the turbo as it may be too big for your application. GL!

inline pro Manifolds are good, the other stuff is crap. Like others said, get something more suitable for your goal. Not a "obx t4 big turbo"

inline pro makes legit manifold, the rest of the stuff may or may not work. its the risk you are willing to take. i would rather spend a bit more money on nicer parts that are going to last longer.

Re: about to buy a turbo from a kid and need opinions
If your going for the power the a "t4 big power" turbo will provide, going cheap is not an option. look around. I just picked up an upgraded .57 that is in amazing condition for $350, got the manifold in the link below for $250 and im sure you can find a wastegate for $150. Dont buy it just because its being offered. Spend your money wisely and youll get the benefits that come with it.
