Turbo should last at least 25k man, more if you treat it good! Think of all those stock turbo cars that moms drive around and you know they don't take care of them...

$900 for the entire kit? I'd do reference check on this guy.....remember if it sounds too good to be true....it probably is. I've lost too much money trusting people online to know that this sounds too good. If it is true.....then hop on that thing quick!

I wouldn't trust this guy if I was you. My friend sent him a check for 50 dollars to have him COD it but he never heard back from him. He's a SCAMMER!!!! You got this off thepartstrader.com right, because that is where my friend got it from. Same pics and everything. Like everyone says......if it is 2 good to be true than it is. Pick it up if you can, if you think he is legit but I would not send him any money.

wear a laytex glove(fins are sharp) and try too move(back and forth) the shaft parallel too the inlet, and also perpendicular to the inlet.
if the shaft "moves" at all, I would not buy it.

turbo's last alot longer than 25k miles guys, i haven't heard of a turbo under 70k needing to be replaced and i'm talking about dsm turbos', so i might be wrong, but i wouldnt worry about it.

Re: Used Greddy Kit ... Is it worth it ... ?? (clean)
FYI I was stating the bare minimum....it all depends on how it's driven and taken care of (i.e. what type of oil, proper cool downs, long or short runs, etc).

DON'T DO IT MAN! THIS GUY IS FRAUD! My buddy emailed this guy over a month ago and he sent these mint pics of the kit. I live in Canada, but as soon as my buddy said he had a relative that lives close to him that can pick it up, NO MORE REPLIES! People like that makes me want to go back and do some old high school **** and just start punching peeps in the face for living.
