hey guys.

Just realised my turbo die'd and I need my car for work...I need somthing quickly.

I realised i can get one from ebay and it will be at my backdoor before the weekend is out... T
hey loook cheap and nasty but i need a td05 quick
It only needs to run 10psi On my vr4 for about 6 months until I have the money to go a gt30...will an ebay turbo last that long?

And does anyone have any in stock that I can swap for a rebuilt one+cash adjustment that i can get by friday :p

Sorry about the quick messy typing/grammar, ive gotta go out and pull the turbo off tonight...running outta time lol :cry:

Simply, NO!.

I saw one on a car, had only been on for a week and it had 1.5mm of lateral shaft play. Another that I pulled apart a week and a half ago, would have done no more than 1000 kms and at std vr4 boost levels and the the bearings are so stuffed and the shaft had so much sideways movement that that exhaust wheel has contacted the exhaust housing and burred the fins on the wheel.

They are worth about $200 in my eyes, that allows you to spend another $200 on a Mitsubishi rebuild kit and then hopefully, you "might" have a semi decent turbo.
