if it seems too good, chances are it is
might be XSpower or SSautochrome style...glued together housings and such....

HiProfile

The second one has the *same* page layout/text/color as ssautocrap.

The first one is probably your bset bet, although it looks like a used volvo unit, probably early 90's from a 900. It very well may have just 3k after a rebuild. It is also sized perfect for your b16, assuming its stock. It looks like a 45 or 50 trim, which will be 275whp max. There are two problems though: you'd be better off wiht a 60 trim t3, and that is ~$250 UDS, 50% higher than it should be for a dirty turbo of that size. I'd thought that turbos would be cheaper over there since europe has a ton of factory turbo cars.

there is another company on ebay that claims to be the uk's sole distributor of xs power/ ssautocrap and ultimate velocity have a large company and website but they also sell on ebay cheaper than their website

as for second hand turbo's they are quite expensive over here as are most seconda hand parts cause scrap yards charge loads when they know what they have on their hands

also what second hand turbo would you recomend and what car does it come from preferably a car available in the uk

you would be amazed at how expensive everything is over here it actually works out cheaper for me to import mandrel bends from america cause over here they are £40 - £60 each for a 3 inch bore and thats if you can find them, my nearest exhaust fab place is 80 miles away im hoping they will do mandrels cheaper

does anybody know of a website where i can find out what turbo's are on certain cars

dazcivic

ok ignore my last post i found one myself

what size are td04 and td05 turbo's compare to garret if you can i kind of understand the garrett size codes
