went and picked up a banks turbo setup from CL that the guy said was off of a 91 7.3. he was asking 250 and i walked away for 180!!! he said the turbo need to be rebuild but i feel no side to side play at all and no fins are damaged. take a look at what i got..i think its all there. i did notice a bracket missing and the oil feed line..also the bolts into the turbo that hold the down pipe are broken. but for 180 do you think i got a deal?

For what you got, I would have bought it as well ;Sweet

Looks like you got most of it there. As for rebuilding it, if I were you I would while its out, easier to do it now then later, and a simple rebuild is a lot cheaper than a more expensive rebuild later on.
