T04e Turbo With 60-1 Wheel And Wastegate. Turbo has about 2500 miles on it. It has no more shaft play than when I originaly bought it. It has an 60 front housing and a 58 back housing. It comes with new V-Band flange and down pipe adapter. The Wastegate is a brand new Innovative 38mm with dump flange. $700
I was not looking to go single yet. But, I came accross this deal that seems very cheap. Although im not sure what the housing sizes should be. Is this just a regular T04e turbo? Do all T04e turbos have a 60-1 compressor wheel? What do ya'll think about this setup? What are some questions to ask the seller? I asked him to send me some pics, I'll post them when I get them. I know I need to ask him if it comes with the oil supply/drain lines. I also know I will still need a manifold and dp, but this looks to cheap to pass up. Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks

You also need to find out what trim ex wheel it comes with.. you want a P-trim.. if it's a O or N trim it's way to small.. If it has a P-trim wheel in it you can just buy a .84 housing and swap it out.. I actually have a couple of extra used ones here in my house. Also a 60-1 is a 60-1 it's not a to4e.. they may have taken a to4E or B a/r 60 housing and bored it out for the 60-1 wheel to fit, but it would then be a 60-1 with a a/r 60 housing 
.. also for reference the 60-1 is the same size compressor wheel as a To4S... If your shooting for over 420 hp I would put a .96 or 1.0 ex housing on it, but you need to be absolutly sure that it is a P-trim...
also if you put a straw in your mouth and go outside and run about a mile while breathing only threw that staw you'll have a good idea of what your engine would feel like with the .58 housing..
