Well, the last turbo i bought on ebay was a paperweight, they guy was a freakin liar and well, anyway, he got it back and i got back MOST of my money.....
BUT this week, i got my new one.....
a quick refresher... this is the old turbo, an IHI RHB-4
Here's the new one.....

Its near perfect, very good bearings (about 0.002 runout...) and in EXCELLENT condition..... ebay sometimes comes up with the goods !
Its not a bolt-in job, and it may take me a week or two more (about 8!) but this puppy should flow about twice as much air for a given temperature ..... in short, more power, less heat, more BOOST .....
yay me !
I'm coming for ya Kev.......
