One of my mates in sydney has sourced this turbo setup for me, what looks to be a T06 to fit an RB25, manifold, wastegate, and other lil bits n pieces. All up he wants $1200 for it, but he dosen't know if it works or not, I need to let him know by the end of the day if I want it or not. So basically my question is this... if I pay this amount n it turns out to be a dud, what can I do with it, and would I still be able to break even or lose less than $200 on it? I'm not really looking for a profit if I resell it if its not what I need, so what do you guys think? should I buy it?

He mentioned something about a 9mm something or other and it will bolt onto an RB25 and there's a small dent under the front pipe? comes with the AFM as well...

ahhh decisions decisions... quick, someone tell me what to do. How much is a broken TD06 worth anyways?

Actually, having a closer look at the 2nd set of photos looks as though they have welded a T3 or T4 flange to the exhasut housing of what may be a TD06 series turbo (it kinda looks triangular instead of square) so that it can be bolted to the manifold, which does appear to be a twin scroll,

Considering this would mean quite a mismatch of the inner diameters/faces id suggest there is a reason why its so cheap, but still if the manifold doesnt have any cracks and the wastegate is in ok condition then they are worth the money, i dont think the turbo will ever work well with that manifold, so could sell the turbo with correct exhasut housing to recover some costs

yeah it appears as if they've used a manifold for an HKS turbo with a trust turbo, which is wierd. Its a triangular to squar mateing job. apparently the inners of both are the same diameter... so :

Its not a TD06-25g compressot housing, they have Greddy cast into them like DJ Lethals TD06-25g... its more then likely a TD06-20g like mine, althought the compressor looks different so may be an older TD06-20g turbo, does it have a tag on the comrpessor cover, if so what colour is it blue and silver or black and silver

    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
