I want a second hand turbo
Wanting to go the turbo route soon, and I'm looking round for an internal wastegated one that won't break the bank. Something like a TD04 would be fine. The trouble is I'm hesitant to go the TM route where I can't view before forking over the cash, I'd rather buy secondhand from someone I know.
Anyone got something suitable, or can put me on to a trustworthy seller?
I won't be going for super boost, 150HP or so would be amply, so something smallish would be fine.

Yeah, trouble is I've got a welder champing at the bit to make me a manifold, but i need to know what turbo i'm going to be using before I can unleash him.
There's a GT2860 on TM at the moment which has apparently done 400km but suspiciously cheap for a garret.
Anybody know anything about the CT20 from the Supra?

the toyota CT turbos are CRAP
make your flanges from at least 12mm plate, that way when you machine them flat after welding youll still have some meat on them. i had mine done over with a CNC mill after it was welded. a schedule 40 log manifold is all you need for a road car. fancy equal length just isnt necessary and will just fry everything in your engine bay. Have a look at my cardomain page for pics of my turbo manifold and suby turbo. if you can find a nice vf10 then go for it...they are a great turbo for the mx5...basically a gtx turbine with a much bigger compressor on it.
