Cheapest gt35r?

I'm going to be selling them I think around 1180 shipped. So I guess that would be around 1150.

I think that's a pretty darn good deal, but I might just be cruddy at using the interwebber and maybe I haven't found one cheaper.


Now...if I could only find someone to build me some manifolds and the IC pipes, etc.

If you find one cheaper please post it here, it would be a big help in wondering whether adding them to the list will be worth it.

Also, 10.5 hotsides and TME turbos are going to be coming back on the market at probably my best prices yet. I have to talk to my vendor and work some technical things out I'll be set and ready to go. Will probably be 250 shipped on the 10.5s and 950 shipped on the TME, not 100% sure though.

My work is hectic at the moment 60-72 hours a week with an hour commute each way doesn't leave a lot of time for this business venture, but in a month or so it will calm back down and I'll be able to get this going.

Thanks in advance

is this just the turbo? or is it a botl on set, wategate, turbo IC pipe, lines, etc...
1180 is a good price, but there would be a lot more that people would have to buy to bolt this thing up. But it sounds like your price is pretty good for the turbo though.

Depends on the power you are expecting to make. You do not have to (you could still if you just want to be safe) rebuild if you only plan on making around 500WHP, after that it would be reccommended on beefing up the internals.

i see im after around 450bhp as it will be a daily driver, that can be done without a rebuilt then i assume, what kind of parts would i need for that?

If you can sell the TME turbo that Buscher is selling for $950 shipped you need to tell me where/how to pay you.

Weren't there some threads about the XS Power (SS Autochrome) turbos failing? Can't seem to find them, but it was something about the housing splitting in half...

The XS power turbos have been known to split in half after a short period of time.

This is for new Garrett turbos, not SS or any other brand or renamed housing. The TME will probably be going for 950 shipped once I get my website up and running. Due to work however it will be a month or more.

So I take it that my price on TME's would make everyone happy.

No, I had PM'd KK about it a couple of months ago, then I sent him a pretty nasty PM 1 or 2 days before we all found out about his death. I felt like a real scumbag after that.

I don't suppose you know who I have to kiss...ermm contact to become a vendor do you? =p
