Man I bet it pissed somebody off (the person that bidded right before me)!



Because I put in a bid like 5 seconds before it ended for just a hair more than hers.





She was probably like WTF. But I figured it would have went up alot more. Although it only went up 5 dollars in the last 1-2 days of the auction, and $2.50 of which was mine.





Do you guys think I got a good deal? Considering he lists almost no info on it, it's kind of a gamble. But seems worth it to me. It's the cheapest I've ever seen a TO4 go for





Should be fun on the supra7 if it works

I never thought of doing that.



That would have been pretty funny if I got it and it was just a compressor/exhaust housing. OK no it wouldn't have.

Not bad...Get some measurements of the wheels and let us know. Then you'll know if it's a "steal" or not

I just read that airesearch is now garret? Is that true? It said that in like 1980's aireresearch changed their name from that to garret.





At any rate I think that turbo came off of an old air plane or something from the army, because that was what airesearch primarily produced turbo's for. Or at least that is what I am thinking. Does anyone know?

It's an "old" garrett turbo.
