hi,
i was thinking about buying this del sol with a gsr swap, the del sol used to have a turbo on it. the engine only has 50k, but I don't know if it is good since it had a turbo on it. Is there anything I should do besides get a compression test? Where can I get a compression test done at?

 

was the engine rebuilt for the turbo? do you know how it was run?

 

compression and leakdown tests. ask him how it was tuned. how much boost and power he was making. what mods were done to it.

 

the engine was not built at all, but it was run on an ebay turbo, until they blew the turbo by running it at 70 oil pressure instead of 10

red flag. I dont understand the oil part clearly, but it sounds like some stupid **** and I wouldnt buy an engine from a person that does stupid ****.

Also define ebay. Ebay as in used or new greddy kit bought on ebay. Or that SS Autochrome BS. If it is the SSAC crap, that should raise another red flag.
