What's this turbo setup worth

[funkymonkey]

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?

buy naths off him

u can buy setups like these for a little more than this asking price which comes with warranties etc

dont buy stuff u dont know the exact condition of imho

Pretty cheap price for what you are getting.

The turbo might be needing a rebuild but the exhaust manifolds alone are worth a fair bit.

A rebuild on the TD06 should be around $1k or even less if it's knackered, you come out on top.

yep easily rebuild able make heaps of power as rev said the manifodl is almost worth that

jsut let us all know when you ahve it fitted so we can park our cars

That aint a TD06, the exhaust housing looks to be twin scroll, more likely a T04 based turbo... as it looks too small to be a T78

[Roy]

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

[funkymonkey]

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 :

Heh maybe you should ask Judd about it

[funkymonkey]

huh? why Judd?

[funkymonkey]

hehe doughboy... bought it... we'll see how it goes... thanks for your advice champ.

Maybe huh..i seen this is being sold as a Trust kit..

sorry the manifold is HKS??

but overall you get what you pay for!..if its cheap..its cheap for a reason..good thing is Trust turbos are only 400-600 for a overhaul..

[funkymonkey]

My bad... its a GReddy TD06 25G, don't think its a trust kit. Its a homemade setup for an RB25 which used to be in a drift Cefiro

[Roy]

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

[funkymonkey]

will post more pics when product is delivered to agent in japan

[Bl4cK32]

[DJ_L3ThAL]

see i told Al there was no way in hell this is whatg i have, ner ner u pay for what ya get generally,but funky should be a sweet dorrrrifto setup, spewing i cant do mine anymore
