I have bought things on ebay that was worded wrong or something and sold them the next week and doubled my money. There is good business in finding ill worded auctions.:thumbsup:

It should but I have never seen this kind of setup. I like how it uses the stock airfilter housing.

Chris, a turbo really isnt all that complicated. But you can get $500 wrapped up into one thats completely shot pretty fast. I rebuilt my own ATS 088 turbo. But I just bought a new Garrett center section, so I didnt tear everything apart. But it still isnt that bad from what I've heard. If that engine is close to you, you could easily justify even the BIN price just for the injection lines on the thing. Those lines new from IH are $65-85 each.

The guy on ebay I got my rebuild kit from , has kits for most all turbos for between $75-100 and if you buy one, you can send in your wheels and he'll balance them for free. Ron's turbo service if you don't see a kit for the turbo you have, call him, it's a regular turbo shop.
