As long as it's in good shape and doesn't leak, that's really a pretty decent price.

yea he says the compressor is semi polished, and the turbine housing is cleaned and painted and it has no shaft play so hopefully its true and i wont have to rebuild it.

Now all you need is the manifold, downpipe, oil lines, intercooler, boost controller, boost gauge, intercooler piping and you'll be on your way! Congrats though, when you get it all hooked up, they're fun... oh buddy they're fun. It'll almost just be like having Vtec! Only it doesn't give you that power burst all at one time!!
